How to expand Xbox Series X|S storage

As games get larger and the library of games worth playing grows, it's becoming increasingly difficult to store the best Xbox games on your console. The Seagate expansion card helps with that issue by providing a storage boost to your device while delivering similar read/transfer speeds to the built-in storage of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

The Seagate expansion card is one of the best Xbox external hard drives thanks to its read/transfer speeds and ease of use. Pop the card into your console and download away (or move games over). Due to the card's speed, you can play games that are stored directly on the card. The 2.4GB/s reading speed is quick enough to reduce load times compared to other drives or previous Xbox consoles.

In our Seagate Storage Expansion Card review, one of the only criticisms of the card was its price. That flaw is reduced greatly by the current discount.

"When looking for a seamless storage expansion for your Xbox, eliminating the need to manage storage, the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is unbeaten. There's nothing else that compares," we said in our review.

According to CamelCamelCamel, which tracks prices for a large library of items, the Seagate expansion card for Xbox Series X|S is at its lowest price ever. That makes it a great time to expand the storage of your console without sacrificing speed or performance. The 1TB model is the version sitting at its best price ever, but there is also a nice deal on the 2TB model ($249.99) if you need even more storage.
