Seagate Now Offers High Capacity FireCuda External Hard Drives and Gaming Hub
Both new external HDD (Hard Disk Drive) solutions were designed for gamers who are looking to level up their battle stations with high—performing, mass capacity upgrades in a sleek enclosure.
Presented in a bold and refined design, the new FireCuda Hard Drive features RGB LED lighting that gamers can customize through Seagate's Toolkit software for an epic gaming atmosphere. It also features Razer Chroma RGB compatibility to synchronize users' Chroma-enabled gaming peripherals. The lightweight FireCuda Hard Drive is designed with USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection for universal compatibility and quick transfer speeds and is USB bus-powered, making it the winning choice for laptop and PC gamers on the go.
The FireCuda Gaming Hub features the same customization options and USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection as the FireCuda Hard Drive, as well as dual front-facing USB-C and USB-A ports so gamers can connect and power other gaming peripherals in one place. Both new drives include three-years of Rescue Data Recovery Services and a one-year limited warranty so gamers have peace of mind.
With shipments starting this month, Seagate's FireCuda Gaming Hard Drive is available in capacities of 1 TB ($79.99), 2 TB ($109.99), and 5 TB ($179.99), while FireCuda Gaming Hub is available in mass capacities of 8 TB ($219.99) and 16 TB ($399.99).

for backup,why not.
a 500gb ssd would be enough to contain things you're playing atm,and with a large HDD you can easily move them around.
Absolutely HDDs are great for that ! But this is not gaming is backup/affordable storage solution. Tapes can hold terabytes on the cheap too, if you need so much cold storage on the cheap that the equipment cost for em is a non issue, and you can backup thousands of games in em (with enough tapes ) but that does not make em gaming tapes :p
Here 12tb uncompressed or 30 compressed for 90 bucks https://www.newegg.com/p/12K-00EM-00011. I guess if Seagate make em or stick their log on will also call em gaming :p
Edit : added the 2nd part
