If your cable orients the drive in the wrong direction, you can't see the friendly Kermit-like lighting. One design detail surprised me: The Type-C port is located on the same end of the drive as the thin, green LED band. Seagate doesn’t provide a TBW (TeraBytes that can be Written) rating, however, for the normal user, that shouldn’t be a concern.
As mentioned, the drive technology is SATA, not NVMe, as with some of the only slightly pricier competition. As mentioned, the USB is SuperSpeed 10Gbps.
It’s billed as a USB-C drive, which tells you nothing other than it sports Type-C connector. The BarraCuda Fast SSD is available in three capacities: 500GB ( $110 on Amazon Remove non-product link), the 1GB size we tested ( $180 on Amazon), and 2TB ( $350 on Amazon Remove non-product link), respectively.
