Wow, okay, so Seagate just dropped this massive 4TB Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S, and it’s going to empty your wallet at $499.99. Crazy, right? I mean, talk about sticker shock. But hey, if you’re drowning in AAA games that swallow your hard drive like snacks — looking at you, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with your outrageous 400GB appetite — this might just be your saving grace.
Here’s the thing, Seagate’s been putting out those 1TB and 2TB cards for a while now, and they basically let you hoard games like a dragon with its treasure. No more stressing over what to delete to make room. Imagine just booting up your console and everything you want is right there. Bliss. Automatic updates won’t give you a heart attack either, ’cause more storage means no dreaded “not enough space” messages.
So, yeah, this new 4TB beast matches the Xbox Series X|S inside and out. Same speed, same performance — it’s like they were made for each other. You know what’s cool? You can play games directly from this drive, no need to shuffle them over to the internal SSD first. Convenient? Absolutely. Justifies the price? Debate amongst yourselves.
All of this magic happens courtesy of Microsoft’s Xbox Velocity Architecture. Basically, it makes everything load faster, and even older games play smoother. If you’re into retro gaming with a modern twist, this is a win.
Size-wise, it’s identical to its little siblings, the 1TB and 2TB versions. So you don’t need extra space in your gaming setup — not like anyone has that.
Now, here’s the kicker. This bad boy costs the same as a 1TB Series X console itself. Really makes you think. But if you’re craving that quadruple storage satisfaction, it’s a tempting offer. Best Buy is cutting you some slack with a $70 discount at launch, by the way. Not that it makes it cheap, but hey, every little bit helps! You can snag these cards at all the usual places: Amazon, Argos, etc., depending on where you’ve set up camp.
Anyway, if you’re all about that life of endless gaming options without deleting old favorites, it might be worth considering. Just… you know, maybe skip a few lattes.
