# Seagate Launches FireCuda Forge USB4 Storage

November 11, 2026 at 10:57 AM

> Seagate's new 8TB and 20TB external drives feature Alkemi machine learning architecture and require a user-installed M.2 2280 SSD.

Seagate has launched the FireCuda Forge, a high-capacity external drive available in 8TB and 20TB models. Priced at $699 and $899 respectively, the device features a USB4 connection and requires users to install their own M.2 2280 SSD to function properly.

The Forge uses Alkemi architecture, employing machine learning to prioritize active data without manual management. While it supports various SSDs, Seagate recommends 1TB DRAM-equipped drives and has qualified the Samsung 990 Pro and WD SN850X for use.

Compatible with Windows 11 and macOS 26, the plastic enclosure features RGB lighting and hex screw security. It delivers speeds up to 2,500 MB/s read and 2,000 MB/s write, utilizing onboard processing to optimize performance across its internal storage.
