Seagate Expands Xbox Series X|S Storage with New 4TB Expansion Card for $499

Okay, so Seagate’s gone and dropped this gigantic 4TB storage thingy for Xbox Series X|S. Which is cool, I guess? But hold on to your wallets because it’s gonna set you back a terrifying $499.99. Yup, no typo there.

Now, if you’ve, like, tried dealing with the 1TB or 2TB cards they’ve had before, you probably know the drill. Those massive games, like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – yeah, that one’s a fatty at nearly 400GB – can totally eat up your space. And don’t even get me started on the whole cycle of downloading and deleting and then…again, downloading (yawn). Seagate’s thing makes it easier, so you can jam-pack your Xbox with games without constantly worrying if there’s enough room. Awesome, right? Or maybe it’s just me who hates the whole delete-then-redownload game dance.

The drive? Oh, it’s, like, a perfect match for Xbox’s insides. No awkward fitting issues here. Runs fast, too. Much quicker than some random external drive where you’d have to transfer games to actually play them. This one? Nope. Play straight from it. A treat if you ask me, and maybe why you’re slapped with that price tag.

So, something about Seagate’s cards and Microsoft having this secret sauce, the Xbox Velocity Architecture, they call it. Sounds fancy, with quicker load times and whatnot. And bonus: if you’re into those old-school Xbox games, they’ll often work even better on this setup. Imagine playing them smoother and faster? Yeah, that’s a thing, I guess.

Now, about the price – ugh, it’s like getting another Xbox, maybe even pricier than the Series S. But hey, if hoarding games is your thing, then this could be tempting. Oh, and quick FYI: there’s a discount, like $70 off (thanks, Best Buy), so maybe not as painful? Also, you can snag one on Amazon or find them at a bunch of places in the UK, like Argos or Scan.

Anyway, wait, where was I? Oh, yeah – so much storage. Could be just what you need if you’re like me and hate ditching games to make room. But seriously, why does everything have to be so expensive?
