Seagate really wants you to buy an external hard drive for your Xbox games.
When Xbox Game Pass launched earlier this month, offering unlimited access to more than 100 downloadable games, Seagate announced its Game Drive for Xbox Game Pass Special Edition external hard drive, available with up to 4TB of storage. Now, in case you want to download the entire Game Pass collection and store the games you already own, Seagate is touting its 8TB Game Drive Hub.

Eight terabytes is a ton of storage: Seagate says it should accommodate more than 200 games, which means that the vast majority of Xbox owners who buy a Game Drive Hub will never have to delete another game. Thanks to a USB 3.0 interface, they'll probably never need to transfer games back and forth between the external drive and their Xbox, either, since USB 3.0 should offer enough data throughput to allow lag-free gameplay of the titles stored on the external drive.
The Game Drive Hub is compatible with the entire current Xbox lineup, which includes the Xbox One, Xbox One S, and the recently unveiled Xbox One X. Its white-and-black case will even match the color scheme of your console, in case you're worried about your entertainment center turning into an unsightly gaggle of mismatched devices. And since its two front USB ports are powered, they can charge your wireless controllers.
The Game Drive Hub's main drawbacks are its $199.99 price tag and the fact that it doesn't include any Game Pass freebies. The 2TB Game Drive costs $89.99 and includes one month of Game Pass, while the 4TB Game Drive is $129.99 and includes two free months. And don't forget that you don't need to pay a premium for an Xbox-branded drive to store Xbox games: pretty much any drive will do as long as it has USB 3.0 and at least 256GB of storage.
