When we reviewed theSeagate Expansion cardfor theXbox Series SandXbox Series Xback in 2020, we said that despite its many good points it was too expensive. At launch it was retailing for $219/£219, which was only $30/£30 less than the Xbox Series S RRP.
The good news is that in some retailers the card is now available for an all-time low price – but it’s still a lot more than you’d pay for a standard SSD of the same quality. However, as an Xbox user you don’t have a choice; unlike thePS5, you can’t just stick one of thebest SSDslike a WD_Black into your console.
How much should I pay for the Xbox expansion card?
OnAmazonUS the Seagate NVMe Storage Expansion Card for the Xbox is down to $150 for the 1TB, and the2TB is $280. That’s 32% off the 1TB model and 30% off the 2TB.
Amazon UK is not currently listing the Seagate cards for sale, but a quick look atCurrys is showing the 1TB with £60 off, bringing it down to £139. It was also offering £150 off the 2TB, bringing it down to £199, but that’s currently out of stock at the time of writing.
The Seagate card is the only option for running games directly from the SSD, but if you only want storage for older games the Seagate Game Drive for Xbox is currently much cheaper:Amazon UKis doing it for £74.99.
