The Seagate Storage Expansion Card has been out for a while now. We first reviewed the Seagate Storage Expansion Card in 2020 and refreshed that review in 2022. The card hasn't changed since then, but its price has. And that's no small change. At launch, the only real knock on the card was its price. The Seagate Storage Expansion Card was so inexpensive that our Matt Brown listed its price as a negative twice.

"When looking for a seamless storage expansion for your Xbox, eliminating the need to manage storage, the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is unbeaten," said Brown. There's nothing else that compares, with little to fault, beyond the high asking price. Here's hoping that drops a few years down the line."

And drop the price has. Since the eye watering launch price of $399.99 was the norm, the cost of the Seagate Storage Expansion Card has dropped steadily over time. Amazon lists the normal price of the card to be $359.99, but there was a point that the card cost a penny under $400.

There have been a few significant but short-lived dips. The current price of the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is the lowest ever, even beating the Black Friday discount we saw last holiday season.

The best aspect of the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is its ease of use. The simple plug-and-play design of the card makes it simple to expand your console's storage or swap from one card to another.

"Much like existing USB drive support for Xbox consoles, Microsoft designed Storage Expansion Cards to be simple plug-and-play accessories. Pressing in the card sounds an audible click, with an on-screen notification once the card is detected by the console," said Brown. "The extra storage is instantly available to use, with the option of installing future content onto the internal drive or the expansion."

The Seagate Storage Expansion Card delivers similar speeds to the built-in storage of the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, allowing you to enjoy the best Xbox games with quick load times. Now, you can get the best storage expansion card for the Xbox Series X|S at a great price.
