Xbox Series X|S owners can get a 1TB Expansion Card at a huge discount right now. Ahead of Black Friday 2024, Amazon and Best Buy are offering the WD Black C50 1TB Expansion Card for only $100. This plug-and-play storage device normally costs $150, and the current $50 discount is the best deal yet at either retailer.
1TB – $100 (was $150) | 512GB – $68 (was $80)
The Xbox Series X 1TB console has 802GB of usable space, so this model of the C50 will more than double your storage for games. The 1TB C50 has nearly three times as much usable space as the launch model Series S (364GB).
The WD Black C50 1TB Expansion Card for $100 is the better deal, but you can also save on the 512GB model. Normally $80, the 512GB Xbox Expansion Card is on sale for $68.
The C50 launched in 2023 to compete with Seagate’s Expansion Card, the only other officially licensed storage expansion option for Xbox Series X and Series S. These proprietary devices pop into the expansion slot on the back of your console. That’s the whole installation process; these truly are plug-and-play storage solutions.
Regular external hard drives can store Xbox Series X|S games, but you need to transfer them back to the console’s internal drive to actually play them. Xbox Expansion Cards, on the other hand, can store and load games; these nifty accessories act as an extension of your SSD.
