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

Whoa, where to start? So, Seagate’s gone and tossed out this humongous 4TB Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S. Yeah, you read that right—4TB. It’s like, enough space to stack up games until you forget half of them exist. But hey, all that space comes at a December-in-Alaska kind of price: $499.99. Yowza! Imagine the sound of your wallet weeping.

They had these smaller ones before—1TB and 2TB, ya know. But with game sizes these days, like Call of Duty munching up 400GB (seriously? who designs these things?), just deleting stuff all the time turns into a chore I’d rather skip. So yeah, it’s nice having storage to hoard, err, collect games. Makes life easier when the Xbox decides it wants to update without warning—like a ferret on caffeine.

Okay, back up a sec. Seagate’s 4TB thingamajig, like its teeny-tiny siblings, fits snug as a bug with the Xbox’s own drives. It runs at the same speed, performance, blah blah. Some techy stuff in there, but more importantly, you can play games straight from it. No frustrating shuffle dance moving games back and forth. Handy, right?

Plus, this whole Xbox Velocity Architecture deal promises quicker load times — no more staring at loading screens thinking about next year’s vacation. Backwards compatible too, so even your old faves might run smoother than on ancient hardware. Nifty!

Here’s the kicker though: dimensions are the same as the smaller ones! Magic? Witchcraft? Technology??? Also, same 128MB cache. Whatever that means. Important to someone, I guess.

Anyway, $499.99 is what they’re asking. But a little whisper told me Best Buy’s slicing $70 off right now. And Amazon’s jumped on this too. In the UK, you’re looking at Argos, Amazon, ebuyer, and Scan. Um, hi, choices!

Still, you could probably buy another console almost for that price. Oh well, what’s money if not for spending? More games, more fun. Or not. Depends. Anyway—are you team expansion or team I’d-rather-eat-ramen-for-a-month? Choices, choices.
