![]() ![]() On the back, you’ll find the power port, the USB-C Thunderbolt 3 host port, a USB-C Thunderbolt 3 peripheral port, a DisplayPort 1.4, three more USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and a full-sized Ethernet port. On the front of the FireCuda Gaming Dock, you’ll find a power button, two USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports (one of which offers 7.5W/5V/1.5A charging), a 3.5mm headset jack, a 3.5mm microphone jack and a status LED. The ports on the front of the Seagate FireCuda Gaming Dock. When connected to a laptop, it didn’t matter all too much as I usually have that off to the right of my monitor. It’s not a huge deal, and I’m sure plenty prefer the dock the way it is. It has a glass side panel and the light reflected off it, mixing with the RGB lighting of the computer itself. This is just personal preference but I would have preferred the removable NVMe SSD access cap and lighting to be on the opposite side, mostly due to the fact I have my desktop set up to the right of my monitor. Personally, I don’t think you’d have issues with that setup as the drive does have its own heatsink to dissipate heat from the SSD, but it was obviously designed for heatsink-less NVMe SSDs. As you’d expect, because it has a built-in heatsink, I was unable to put the included heatsink cover back on it. It’s probably not advisable but I was able to insert the Seagate FireCuda 530 Heatsink in the slot. There is also another heat dissipation pad on the underside of the heatsink cover. Underneath the slot towards the back is a heat dissipation pad. Remove the screws on either end and you’ll see the empty NVMe SSD slot. When the end cap is removed, you’ll see a cover with the FireCuda Gaming branding on it. Second, it is the end cap that can be pulled back to expose the expandable NVMe SSD slot. The RGB lights also shine out through the right end of the dock as well. First, it is lined with RGB LEDs to give a splash of controllable colour to the dock. The Seagate logo is printed on the bottom edge of the top to the right of the split. Matte black in colour, there is a split in the dock roughly two inches from the right. If you’re using this with a laptop, you’re not going to be carting it around with you but rather leaving it at home with your main setup. It also has a nice weight to it, weighing in at just under 6 pounds. It measures roughly 10 1/2″ wide, 2″ high, and 5 1/4″ deep. The Seagate FireCuda Gaming Dock is a decent-sized block of a dock. ![]() What’s included with the Seagate FireCuda Gaming Dock. ![]()
