Lenovo has just unveiled one of the most unique gaming accessories yet—an external SSD shaped like a grenade. Designed as a promotional tie-in for the upcoming Chinese action film Operation Leviathan, this unconventional storage device is currently up for crowdfunding in China, and it’s already gaining explosive attention.
Dubbed the Savior Tactical Mobile SSD, this limited-edition drive is priced at 599 yuan (around $82). While Lenovo hasn’t released full technical specifications, the SSD is expected to be based on the company’s existing Legion SSD lineup, known in China as Savior SSDs. These external drives typically feature USB-C connectivity and speeds reaching up to 1,050MB/s, making them a reliable choice for gamers who need fast and portable storage.
The tie-in film, Operation Leviathan, is an action-packed thriller that follows an elite military squad as they face submarines, explosions, and high-stakes combat. The movie is set to hit theaters on January 29, making this SSD a well-timed collectible for fans of military-style gaming accessories.
While weaponry-themed PC peripherals are usually reserved for custom builds or promotional events, Lenovo is taking matters into its own hands. This isn’t the first time a tech company has partnered with a movie franchise—Seagate previously launched a Star Wars-themed SSD inspired by The Mandalorian’s Beskar metal, and Asus has repeatedly released Neon Genesis Evangelion-themed gear for anime and gaming fans alike.
For those interested in grabbing the grenade SSD, there’s a bit of a challenge—it’s only available through a Kickstarter-style crowdfunding platform in China, which has proven to be tricky for international buyers. If you’re after a high-speed external SSD without the risk of airport security flagging your gear, checking out standard models might be the safer option.
Meanwhile, Lenovo is also making headlines with its gaming hardware, as the company prepares to launch the next iteration of its Legion Go handheld. The upcoming device is rumored to be one of the first to work directly with Valve’s SteamOS and is expected to feature AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Go processor, making it a strong contender in the portable gaming space.
For now, Lenovo’s grenade SSD is an eye-catching collectible that blends gaming, military aesthetics, and movie hype into one explosive package. Whether it becomes a must-have accessory or a novelty piece, one thing’s for sure—it’s bound to make an impact.
