Seagate Releases 4TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S: Quadruple Your Storage for $499

Okay, so get this—Seagate just rolled out this mega 4TB monstrosity of a Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S. Yeah, you heard right, 4 terabytes. But brace yourself, ’cause it’s priced at a cool $499.99. I know, I gasped too.

Now, Seagate’s been in this game for a while, with their 1TB and 2TB cards—and honestly, in this era of humongous AAA games (looking at you, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with your 400GB demand!), it’s like playing Tetris with your storage space. You end up in this relentless loop of downloading, deleting, then just giving up and redownloading. Fun times, right?

So, what’s the deal with this new card? Well, it cranks up your Xbox’s storage so you can cram it full of all the games you’ll ever want. Or at least, you know, until your backlog becomes too overwhelming. Also, it spares you the nightmare of missing out on crucial game updates just ‘cause you ran out of space. We’ve all felt that sting.

The card’s like its tinier 1TB and 2TB relatives—blends right into the Xbox Series X|S vibe with matching speed and performance. What’s exciting (or worth the jaw-dropping price) is that unlike typical external drives, you get to play straight from this expansion card. No shuttling files back and forth to the internal SSD. Thank you very much, Seagate.

Oh, and the tech talk doesn’t end! These cards are built for Xbox’s Velocity Architecture (I’m guessing that’s tech lingo for “really fast”), making load times a dream and giving old-gen games a bit of a glow-up. Sweet.

The 4TB version? Same size as the older ones, with that 128MB cache thingy. But here’s where your wallet starts trembling—$499.99. Yikes. Although, a little birdie mentioned a $70 discount at Best Buy. Quick, check that if you’re in the U.S. Or try Amazon and the usual suspects like Argos and Scan if you’re across the pond in the UK.

Here’s the kicker: this 4TB beast about matches the price of a whole 1TB Series X console. Yeah, wrap your head around that. But hey, if you’re eyeing that quadruple storage, it’s definitely calling your name.
