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

Wow, so, Seagate’s done it again. Just announced this hulking 4TB Storage Expansion Card for, like, the Xbox Series X|S. And yeah, it’s $499.99. That’s a ton. But we’ve been here before, right? They’ve had the 1TB and 2TB cards out for a while. Big games, like Call of Duty, are space-sucking monsters (400GB! Seriously?), so either you’re exhausted or you’re missing something with all the deleting and redownloading.

But imagine having that extra space. It’s like, you can just dive into whatever game you feel like without playing musical chairs with your storage. I mean, as long as you remember what you wanted to play. I, for one, would get lost in the endless options, but hey, that’s just me. And, you know those gnarly game updates that take forever? With this new card, they might actually happen on time. What a concept.

These 4TB drives? They fit right in with your Xbox’s internal setup—and here’s the kicker: you can play games right off them. No middleman of transferring needed. Fast and furious, just like the console. That alone justifies the hefty price tag, sort of.

And another thing. Microsoft’s Xbox Velocity Architecture (say that five times fast) means quicker load times for slicker gaming experiences. Also, your old-school games? They should run better too, which is kinda neat. Same shape and everything as the smaller models, and the cache is unchanged at 128MB. So at least that’s easy to wrap your head around.

Did I mention the cost? Yeah, $499.99 is steep. Heard there’s a $70 save at Best Buy if you rush there now. Amazon, Argos, and some other places have them too. Just another little tidbit, the price is almost at par with some Xbox models – wild, right? Could be worth it if you’re drowning in games. More storage equals more chaos, but the fun kind, maybe.
