We even gave them a high score of 4/5 stars in our review of the Seagate Storage Expansion Cards, with my former colleague, Matt Brown, stating, "Seagate's Storage Expansion Card is the best way to add more space to the latest Xbox consoles, while avoiding the annoying limitations of USB drives. While it's an expensive investment that might be hard to justify, those who drop the cash won't be disappointed with the returns."

I can vouch for him, as I own one of these cards, and it's been a massive boon to fit for Xbox Series X|S. Thanks to these cards, I was able to fit in titles that require dozens, if not hundreds, of gigabytes when combined with their DLC, like Monster Hunter World, Final Fantasy XVI, and WWE 2K25, without uninstalling a huge chunk of my game collection.

Another benefit of these SSD cards is that they allow an Xbox to run games directly from the cards without having to move them to the console's internal SSD, unlike external SSDs, saving me from hours of tedious file management.
