Why should you buy the Seagate Storage Expansion Cards?
Seagate has produced many types of SSDs over the years for Xbox consoles, from the Seagate Game Drive to the Seagate Expansion 2TB external hard drive to name a few. Yet the Seagate Storage Expansion Card has quickly risen up to become one of the best Xbox external hard drives the company has ever produced for the Xbox Series X|S.
There are many reasons why this SSD has become so popular with the Xbox community, and why we at Windows Central gave 4/5 stars when we reviewed the Seagate Storage Expansion Card.
First off, there are multiple storage capacity versions of Seagate Storage Expansion Card available depending on your needs – 1TB and 2TB. The 2TB version of the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is special because it is currently the only external SSD expansion card on the market with 2TB worth of storage, so you can install tons more of the best Xbox games on it.
Secondly, the Seagate Storage Expansion Card can play stored Xbox Series X|S games directly inside the card while it’s plugged into an Xbox Series X|S, which is something that regular external SSD hard drives can’t do as of yet. Additionally, Seagate Storage Expansion Cards have high data reading speeds of 2.4GB/s so you can transfer or download games quickly and reduce loading times while playing games on it.
Finally, the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is easy to use and set up as it is a Plug and Play device. All you have to do is insert it into an Xbox Series X|S’s expansion card slot and it will be instantly ready for duty.
There’s only one flaw when it comes to the Seagate Storage Expansion Card, and that is the MSRP. The 1TB card costs $159.99 while the 2TB costs a hefty price of $329.99, which is basically almost the price of an Xbox Series X itself. Thankfully, these price tags have been mitigated thanks to Amazon hosting special Black Friday deals for these Seagate Storage Expansion Cards.
As of right now, the 1TB version is now on sale for $129.99 at Amazon with a 19% discount and the 2TB version has a MUCH bigger 46% discount that has taken it down a peg to $193.49 at Amazon. The deal for the 2TB card is especially worth it because not only is it the biggest price drop it's ever had, but you will save $166.53 in the process.
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday officially commences on November 29, 2024. However, many retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart have already begun hosting discount deals for a wide variety of products. In light of this, we recommend keeping an eye out for early discount deals for products you have added to your wishlist at your favorite retailers, just in case they become sold out by the time Black Friday officially starts.
When is Cyber Monday?
When Black Friday ends, Cyber Monday will begin shortly afterward on December 2, 2024. Cyber Monday is worth keeping track of after Black Friday finishes, as this online-only event will most likely host exclusive discount deals not shown during Black Friday or cheaper deals than ones hosted during Black Friday. Also, some Cyber Monday deals may last after the event is over, so you may want to stick around for any last-minute discounts.
