Seagate Launches 4TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S: Quadruple Your Storage for $499

Whoa, so let’s dive into this messy tech reveal — Seagate’s got this gigantic 4TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S. And yeah, your wallet might cry; it’s going for an eye-rolling $499.99. Pricey, huh? They’ve had these 1TB and 2TB versions for a while, but it seems like this big guy’s here to party with the big games. You know those massive ones like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 that almost need their own estate on your hard drive? Close to 400GB! Who knew? I find it crazy how often we’re just playing the download-delete-redownload dance. Exhausting.

So this card — imagine just cramming your Xbox full of games, like your old bedroom closet but digital games instead of clothes. Maybe you’ll get around to those automatic updates actually happening when there’s, you know, space.

This new 4TB card’s like that perfect jigsaw piece fitting exactly where it should inside your Xbox. It’s not your run-of-the-mill hard drive where you have to shift things to your internal SSD first. Nah, you can run games straight off this card. Handy? Oh yeah. But gee, it’s reflected in that massive price tag.

Hooked up with Microsoft’s Xbox Velocity Architecture, this card gives your games a speed boost — quicker texture load-ups, feeling like you’re right there in the game. And if you’re still into those retro vibes, backward-compatible games get a performance jump too.

Now, about the physicality or whatever, it’s pretty much the same size, look, cache (128MB, if I’m being specific) as the 1TB and 2TB models. Handy for continuity, I guess.

So let’s chat numbers again. $499.99. Ouch, right? Best Buy might save you $70 if you catch it now. And Amazon’s got you covered if you’re in the U.S. It’s funny, in a way — this card might cost just as much as, or even more than, a whole new console. Performance over purchase rationality, perhaps? But who’s judging?

You can get your hands on them in the UK too. Argos, Amazon, ebuyer — all the usual suspects. It’s like, why not quadruple your Xbox’s storage and venture into a clutter-free digital universe? Or am I just trying to justify it? Anyway, stay wild, gamers.
