Seagate’s Xbox-Licensed 1TB Expansion Card Returns at Black Friday Price Before Christmas

If you’re a new Xbox XS owner thanks to the Black Friday and Cyber Week deals, or if you’re gifting one to someone for the holidays, you’re going to want to take this great shortcut to seamlessly doubling the console’s storage without sacrificing game play — the Seagate Storage 1TB Expansion Card, officially licensed by Xbox and on sale at Amazon now for 19% off.

The Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series XS is an Amazon #1 Best Seller in External Solid-State Drives, and considering how it’s specifically designed for the Xbox, with its own dedicated slot in the back of the console, it’s easy to see why.

Made for Each Other

Other external drives can be paired to the Xbox for additional storage, but only the Seagate Storage Expansion Card has the officially licensed Xbox Velocity Architecture, so nothing gets lost in translation, and the gaming doesn’t lag at all. The Seagate Storage Expansion Card gives you fast load times and frame rates, and uninterrupted game play that other drives cannot match.

The Seagate Storage Expansion Card can also store and play thousands of games going back to all four generations of Xbox games, with all of the speed and performance you would get if they were stored directly on the console’s internal SSD. If there’s a new game you’re looking to add and it’s too big for your current on-board storage, it’s easy to just shift some games from the SSD to the Seagate so you can add that large file.

Storage Worries: Gone

With new games becoming so much more detailed and immersive — and subsequently more massive in file size — the built-in 1TB of storage in a new Xbox Series XS is going to get scarce quickly. The Seagate Expansion Card’s 1TB version doubles that the second you plug it into the dedicated slot at the back of the Xbox — no formatting, no added firmware, just plug and play.

The Seagate Storage Expansion Card comes in sizes all the way up to a massive 8TB version, but we’re liking the price tag on the still-ample 1TB model for $130 after Amazon’s 19% discount comes off. The 3-year worry-free warranty is included in the price, but the reliability of the drive is one of the features called out by the 20,000-plus Amazon reviewers who give this expansion card a stellar average review of 4.8 stars. Whether you already have an Xbox or you’re planning on making one your big buy of the holiday season, the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is the logical must-have accessory to add to it.
