Seagate Launches 4TB Xbox Series X|S Expansion Card for $499

Oh boy, here we go again. So, Seagate decided to wow us with this massive 4TB Storage Expansion Card for Xbox – sounds fancy, right? But hang on, it’s not just the size that’s jaw-dropping; it’s priced at a whopping $499.99. Yeah, my wallet cried a little, too.

Seagate’s been in this game, pushing out 1TB and 2TB versions before. Now, why does this all matter? Well, games these days – especially those giant AAA ones – are absolute space hogs. Ever tried dealing with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 screaming for 400GB? Seriously, it’s like giving up half your soul just to fit it all in.

This card, it’s like having your cake and eating it too. You download, you play, you don’t sweat the small stuff – namely, storage. Imagine having all your games right there, ready to rock whenever you are and no more pausing updates because someone’s hogging all the closet space in your Xbox. Been there, done that, got the frustration badge.

Now, these cards look and feel just right with the Xbox Series X|S. Fast and furious, like those internal drives. What makes them a bit more spicy than a random external drive? Oh, it lets you play straight off it. No awkward file shuffling needed.

Oh, and the Xbox Velocity Architecture? Buzzword central but hey, it makes those load times snappier, adds a little extra punch to older games. Extra bonus round, anyone?

Stacked up against its 1TB and 2TB siblings, this new model’s dimensions are doing a copy-paste job. Same look, same 128MB cache. Price, though? It’s like luxury handbag territory. Best Buy’s throwing us a $70 bone, thankfully. You can also snag these over at Amazon and with UK folks at Argos or Scan, to name a few options.

For context, that’s like buying another console, or even two. But, quadrupling your storage? Not gonna lie, it’s tempting.
