"These Seagate official Xbox storage expansion cards haven't been selling at their original launch prices in months, instead settling into mid-range pricing that made them more accessible but still expensive. Amazon just hit record lows on both capacities for Black Friday, dropping the 1TB model to $129 from $159 and the 2TB version to $199 from $259. These prices are nearly 50% off from where these cards debuted, they finally make expanded Xbox storage affordable."
"The Seagate expansion cards are based on the same NVMe SSD architecture as that used in the internal storage of both the Xbox Series X and Series S. This matching spec means games load at identical speeds whether they're on internal storage or the expansion card. You get the full benefit of the console's fast loading capabilities without any performance penalty. Third-party external drives can store games but force you to transfer titles back to internal storage before playing and these cards let you play directly from the expansion."
"Setup intricacy is completely avoided by its plug-and-play design: You simply slide the card into the dedicated slot on the back of your console, and it shows up immediately as extra storage. Instant recognition by the Xbox is done with no formatting, configuration, or installation of any software. The connection uses a proprietary interface licensed exclusively by Microsoft to Seagate, hence guaranteeing perfect compatibility and maintaining the performance standards of the console."
