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

Woke up today with this weird craving, like I needed more Xbox storage? No idea why that popped up, but here we are. So, Seagate just dropped this behemoth— a 4TB Storage Expansion Card for the Xbox Series X|S. Imagine, 4TB! But hey, guess what, it’ll set you back $499.99. Ouch, right?

They’ve had these 1TB and 2TB cards floating around for a while now, so this isn’t some magician’s rabbit outta the hat. But yeah, games just eat up space these days. Some can devour 400GB—thanks, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, didn’t see that coming. Downloading, deleting, rinse, repeat. Exhausting.

Expansion cards to the rescue! So they say. Stuff your Xbox full of all the games your heart screams for. Or not. But at least you’ll dodge the dreaded “no space for updates” nightmare. We all know that mess too well. Always having to decide which game you love just a little less…

Anyway, these cards match your Xbox’s internals like they were twins separated at birth. No, seriously, they keep up with the same performance and speed. You play games straight from them, no moving to the internal SSD first. That’s something, right? Maybe something reflecting in that jaw-dropping price.

Here’s the techy bit: it’s all about Xbox Velocity Architecture. Sounds snazzy, doesn’t it? It basically means quicker load times and such. Backyard compatibility is a sweet bonus—games from yesteryear run smoother than ever. The new kid on the block has the same size and 128MB cache as its older sibs.

Money-wise, it’s a splurge, for sure— $499.99. But hey, Best Buy’s shaving off $70 for now if that helps soothe the wallet. Head over to Amazon or, if you’re across the pond, try Argos or Scan. Funny enough, this thing costs as much as a 1TB Series X or even more than the 1TB Series S, but quadrupling storage? That’s tempting.

On a completely unrelated tangent, do you ever just marvel at how tech just keeps demanding more and more real estate in our lives? Anyway—wait, what was I… oh right, Xbox storage. Go figure.
