    That is a lot of empty space for a small piece of silicon.... How about a double m.2/u.2 ext enclosure for 2*480GB m.2 drives kn 1/10th of the volume?

    Because that wouldn't let them try to sell the mini-external GPU boxes they weren't able to unload on gamers.

    It's funny because it's true. Then again, AKiTiO wouldn't have this problem if their GPU enclosures were priced properly to begin with.

    And really, a case window and RGB LEDs for your external storage device? I used to cringe at glossy plastic everywhere laptops, but this is so much worse. There's something seriously wrong with the computer industry today.

    They're chasing buying trends. I wouldn't blame the company for trying to get sales; they exist to make business. Blame the sheep that buy the RGB products over non-RGB products as they directly influence future product SKUs. I _intentionally_ will pay more for non-RGB non-LED non-sidepanel-window products, because I vote with my wallet and I don't support those dumb trends. But clearly I'm not in the majority, since manufacturers are catering to the majority.

    I put my RGB to useful money-saving use. I can tell if my computer is sleeping, awake, or full power.

    OFF - 0W - no lights

    Sleep - 2.5W - only RAM lights up

    Idle - 59W - RAM and computer lights up, GPU dim

    Gaming - 350W - Everything lights up, GPU brightly

    Kill-A-Watt measurements. I can tell if I forgot to sleep my computer before bed.

    Is there any external SSD available with 1TB volume in the market? Which is compatible with Xbox 360. I asked https://xboxsupport.org/ they told me that Seagate has but didn't found.
