Seagate Expansion Cards for the Xbox Series X Console Drop to the Lowest Prices of the Year
Ahead of Black Friday, Amazon has slashed prices on the officially licensed Seagate Storage Expansion Cards for the Xbox Series X and S consoles. The 1TB model is down to $109.99 and the 2TB model is $189.99. Both sizes are sold by Amazon direct (not a marketplace reseller) with free delivery. The Seagate Storage Expansion Card is the best SSD for the Xbox, which isn’t surprising since your options are pretty limited. The other recommended model – the WD Black C50 – is considerably more expensive at the moment.
Seagate Storage Expansion Cards for Xbox Series X
The Seagate Storage Expansion Card is essentially a 1TB or 2TB NVME SSD housed in an external enclosure with a PCIe Gen4 interface that plugs directly into a specialized port on your Xbox console. Unlike the more complex PS5 SSD installation process, which involves opening up the PS5 to access the SSD slot, the WD expansion card is literally plug and play. This expansion card offers the same speed as the internal SSD, ensuring that you won’t sacrifice performance or encounter extended load times as you might with a regular USB drive. Even with just the 1TB expansion card, you can double the storage on the original Xbox Series X console and triple the storage on your (white) Xbox Series S console.
If you’re looking for an officially licensed storage solution (which we strongly recommend), your options are limited to either the WD or Seagate expansion cards. If you see any other unlicensed hard drives sold by no-name brands, give them a hard pass; chances are they will either not work properly or not work at all.
