Seagate’s New 4TB Xbox Series X|S Expansion Card Boosts Storage for $499

Okay, so Seagate just dropped this behemoth of a 4TB storage card for the Xbox Series X|S, right? And guess what, it’s gonna set you back a cool $499.99. I mean, that’s wild — but maybe not surprising if you think about how much space these games eat up nowadays. Like, I’m sure there’s a game out there (cough Call of Duty?) that practically devours your hard drive for breakfast. Who even has time for all this downloading-deleting-redownloading nonsense, anyway? Sheesh.

So, this new Seagate card? It’s a major game-changer. Literally. You can cram your console full of games, and still have room left over, which sounds like a dream. Hopefully. And hey, no more crying over stalled updates because of zero space. Been there, done that.

Now, here’s the kicker. This thing matches the Xbox Series X|S drives speed-wise. Fancy, right? You don’t even need to move games back and forth from external drives to the internal one just to play. Saves a lot of hassle. Plus, it plugs into Microsoft’s Xbox Velocity Architecture — if that means something to you — apparently it makes game loading quicker and smoother. And old games? They actually run better with this thing. Go figure.

Dimensions-wise, it’s like the 1TB and 2TB versions. Think they’ve got a 128MB cache too. But yeah, it’s not cheap. At all. Did I mention $499.99? Actually, Best Buy’s throwing a $70 discount in there somewhere. Better than nothing. They’re also up on Amazon in the U.S. and places in the UK — Argos, Amazon, the usual suspects. I mean, for this price, it almost rivals a new Xbox console itself! Or more. Yet, there’s just something about that big ol’ storage space that’s tantalizing. Can’t say why, but it is.
