There are a few problems I have with modern gaming, and that's storage management. So many AAA Xbox titles these days require dozens, or sometimes hundreds, of gigabytes of install space that I can barely fit a dozen of them on my Xbox Series X's default 1TB internal drive.
During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I found solutions to this problem in the form of discounts for all models of Seagate's Storage Expansion Cards for Xbox.
Tuesday, December 30 @ 9:30 AM ET: I have checked the main discounts, and they're still available on Amazon. I have changed the intro paragraph, title, and lead image to reflect that, and I have removed several alternative discount options that are no longer available. ~ Alexander Cope, Contributor
No more will I have to worry about running out of space when downloading all my Xbox games.
Now, there's no denying that the Seagate Storage Expansion Cards for Xbox are extremely expensive for what they are, with MSRPs ranging from $159.99 for the 1TB variant, $259.99 for the 2TB variant, and a gigantic $499.99 for the 4TB variant.
Despite the regular price, we still consider them some of the best Xbox accessories on the market.
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 for my 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.
So, if you're looking for the best storage devices for Xbox that are easy to use with tons of space to spare, then the Seagate Storage Expansion Cards are a no-brainer, especially now that they're still on sale for $129.99 (1TB), $199.99 (2TB), and $379.99 (4TB) at Amazon.
