If an Xbox Series console is your main gaming machine, you may have found yourself running out of storage and having to continually delete and re-download titles. Seagate’s Storage Expansion Card is an easy way to upgrade your Xbox’s storage, and the 2TB card is at its all-time low of around $184.76 ($75.23 off) at Amazon for Cyber Monday. The 1TB and 4TB cards are also on sale at or near their all-time lows of $121.19 and $379.99, respectively.
The NVMe-based cards are designed to plug directly into a slot in the back of either an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S — no tools required. Once installed, you can move or download games to the card without any noticeable performance hit. It even supports the Xbox’s Quick Resume feature, so you can easily hop right back into whatever you were playing. Of course, the number of games you can fit onto a 2TB card will depend on the titles you play — indie titles will generally take up less space, while an AAA game could take up dozens of gigabytes on its own.
Current-generation Xbox consoles do support some USB hard drives, such as Seagate’s 5TB Game Drive, but you can only play older, backwards compatible games from them. You can also store Xbox Series games on a hard drive, but will have to move them over to the Xbox’s main storage to actually play them. Seagate’s Storage Expansion Card is one of the best ways to have a seamless storage upgrade that functions like an extension of the console’s onboard storage.
