Okay, so here’s a thing. Seagate just kinda dropped this huge bombshell, a whopping 4TB Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S. And yeah, it’s gonna make your wallet weep at $499.99. I mean, that’s, like, more than I spend on groceries in a month. Anyway — wait, no — back to gaming!
Previously, they had these 1TB and 2TB options. Those were nice, but man, you know when a game just gobbles up space like it’s an all-you-can-download buffet? Call of Duty’s, like, 400GB if you check every box. It’s crazy.
This new expansion thingy is like the answer to those “ugh, I have to delete stuff again?” moments. You just slap it in your Xbox and boom, a ton more space. Imagine never having to choose which game to sacrifice. Hallelujah, right?
So, this 4TB card is pretty much twinsies with the smaller ones. Same speed, same getup. But the key part? You can play games straight from it. No moving files to the internal SSD nonsense. That’s kinda worth the price tag, maybe. Well, for some. Not me, with my empty pockets.
And let’s chat about this smart tech they’ve got, called Xbox Velocity Architecture, or something like that. It makes everything load faster. Who doesn’t love less waiting and more playing? Plus, older games run smoother on it too. Bonus!
Oh, right. Dimensions. It’s the same as its 1TB and 2TB siblings. And a 128MB cache? Whatever that means. Tech talk sometimes feels like another language, doesn’t it?
But, shocker, this thing’s not cheap. Launch price is a beastly $499.99, though Best Buy’s got a $70 discount right now. Amazon’s on it too, both in the US and UK, plus other spots like Argos. It’s as pricey as buying a whole Xbox Series X or more than a Series S, so yeah, it’s a big decision. Still, quadruple the storage could be a game-changer for some.
Okay, that’s my brain dump on this. Now, where was I… oh right, wondering how to save up while still affording snacks. Priorities, you know?
