Seagate Unveils 4TB Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S
Seagate has launched a new 4TB Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X and Series S, expanding options for gamers with extensive libraries. This addition aims to address challenges with storage space for large, modern games. The card is available at $429.99, slightly discounted from its $499.99 list price.
Enhanced Storage for Gamers
With popular titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Microsoft Flight Simulator demanding substantial storage, the new 4TB card can be a game-changer for Xbox enthusiasts. Unlike general external USB drives, this SSD allows games to be played directly, offering performance on par with internal storage.
A Competitive Pricing Landscape
Previously released 2TB cards initially cost $399.99 but are now priced at $219.99 during promotions. Seagate continues to face competition, notably from Western Digital, which debuted its own Xbox-compatible drives in mid-2023. However, Western Digital has yet to offer a 4TB version.
Comparison with PlayStation 5 Options
Despite the competition, Xbox-compatible SSDs remain pricier than options for PlayStation 5, which supports standard NVMe drives. Western Digital sells PS5-compatible 4TB SSDs for $339.99 and an 8TB model for $699.99, showcasing a broader range of storage solutions at a lower cost.
As Seagate innovates with larger storage options, the choice between price and capacity continues to be a major consideration for consumers selecting the right expansion solution for their gaming needs.
