Okay, so, guess what? Seagate, the tech whiz behind hard drives and stuff, just dropped this ginormous 4TB Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S. And the price tag? Well, $500. Yeah, let that sink in for a sec. Anyway, it’s not their first rodeo—they’ve had 1TB and 2TB cards before. But given the size of some of these games these days (looking at you, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6—like, why do you need 400GB?), this new one might just be a lifesaver.
You ever been stuck in that vicious cycle of deleting, downloading, and then deleting again? Well, this card’s like a magic bag for your Xbox. Stuff it with games and breathe easy. Well, unless there’s nothing on there you actually want to play, which sometimes happens. Also, those pesky updates won’t bully you out of space anymore. Annoying, right?
Now, here’s the kicker—these cards are basically best friends with your Xbox Series X|S. They mesh perfectly with the console’s internal drives—no awkward pauses or clunky moves. You get to play games right off the card without shuffling them around, which is kinda neat. But I guess that’s why they cost an arm and a leg.
And there’s more! Thanks to Microsoft’s Xbox Velocity Architecture, loading times are super snappy. Great for those times when you’ve got some old-school games lying around. They play better—usually—than on the original consoles, which is a nice surprise.
Oddly, the 4TB newbie looks just like its smaller buddies—same 128MB cache and all. But that hefty price, man, it’s a conversation starter, for sure. Best Buy’s got a $70 discount for now, so maybe that’s something. You can also snag one from Amazon in the U.S. or places like Argos and Scan if you’re in the UK. Weirdly enough, this card costs as much as a whole 1TB Series X. Like, seriously? Still, having loads of storage is tempting for sure.
Okay, where was I going with this? Oh right, Seagate’s big reveal… it’s a thing. Annoying price, useful product, unexpected surprises. Typical tech, right?
