I recently purchased a Seagate FireCuda 5TB External Gaming Hard Drive, and I've been experiencing an issue that's quite puzzling. Whenever I try to save a game, the drive seems to freeze momentarily. This isn't just a one-time thing; it happens consistently with different games. Has anyone else encountered this problem with the FireCuda 5TB? If so, were you able to find a solution or pinpoint the cause?

Connect the hard drive to another computer to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is with the drive or your PC.

Might want to contact Seagate support but remember the FireCuda is a hybrid drive so it has to write to the disc so it freezing may actually be normal if the game is heavy.
