Seagate Unveils 4TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S, Quadrupling Storage at $499

Alright, so picture this: Seagate just rolled out this massive 4TB Storage Expansion Card for the Xbox Series X|S. Yeah, four terabytes. That’s like… a ridiculous amount of storage, right? But here’s the kicker, it’s gonna set you back a cool $499.99. Ouch.

So, Seagate’s been in the game for a while with their 1TB and 2TB cards, but this latest thing? It’s like they decided bigger is better in the era of mega-huge games. I mean, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 alone can gobble up 400GB if you go all out. No idea how we ended up here, but managing game space is almost a full-time job now.

These cards let you stockpile games like a pro. Just imagine never having to delete a game to make room for another. And those annoying update interruptions? History. I kinda hate having to decide which game gets the boot whenever my Xbox starts whining about space.

Anyway, this new 4TB card is just like its little siblings. Same speed, fancy Xbox Velocity Architecture thing, blah blah. It’s got this cool trick where you play games straight from it. No transferring needed. Handy, huh? And backward-compatible games run smoother too. Nice little perk.

Funny story, the 4TB card is the same size as the other ones—1TB and 2TB versions. How do they cram all that extra storage in there? It’s like some storage wizardry. Still has the 128MB cache and all that.

But, I won’t lie, the price is steep. Launching at nearly five hundred bucks, although Best Buy’s shaving off $70 as an early bird special. You can snap one up on Amazon or even at trusty UK spots like Argos. Honestly, the price tag is kind of wild. It’s like buying another console in some cases. Totally bonkers.

So, yeah, if doubling or quadrupling your Xbox’s storage tickles your fancy and your wallet can handle it, this might be your new best friend. But man, it’s a lot of cash to fork out for storage space. Decisions, decisions, right?
