The Seagate FireCuda 520N promises to be a speedy upgrade for your Steam Deck

The Steam Deck has proven that there is quite a big market for handheld gaming PCs. Now, there are a number of companies offering handheld PC gaming devices, including Windows-based alternatives. Now, Seagate is offering a new FireCuda SSD for these systems.

The new Seagate FireCuda 520N sports the M.2 2230-S2 form factor, making it perfect for upgrading devices like the Steam Deck, the Microsoft Surface or the Lenovo Legion Go. While some other vendors do offer 500GB SSDs in this form factor, Seagate is sticking to the most popular options – 1TB and 2TB.

Offering read/write speeds of up to 5,000MB/s for the 2TB model and 4,800MB/s for the 1TB model, you'll have plenty of speedy storage for installing extra games on your handheld system.

The FireCuda 520N is available starting today, priced at £114.90 for the 1TB model and £194.90 for the 2TB model. Both versions come with three years of Seagate's data recovery service and a five year warranty.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
