Unmissable Discounts on Xbox Expansion Cards – Grab Seagate & WD Black Models at Great Prices

Xbox Series X|S owners can get a great deal on one of the plug-and-play storage expansion cards today (March 31). The WD Black C50 1TB Expansion Card is on sale for $110 (was $150) at multiple major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. All three retailers are offering an even larger discount of $50 on the 2TB model, which drops the price to $200. Alternatively, you can get Seagate’s 2TB Xbox Expansion Card, which is also on sale at Amazon for $200 (was $250).

If you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, the internal SSD on your console might be low on available space at the moment due to recent releases with large file sizes such as Avowed, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Installing all three consumes nearly 300GB of storage space. And if you’re looking forward to Doom: The Dark Ages, you’ll likely need to free up around 100GB of space to play the highly anticipated FPS when it launches in May.

Needless to say, you can run out of space on your internal drive in a hurry, especially if you’re an active Game Pass subscriber.

1TB – $110 (was $150) | 2TB – $200 (was $250)

The Xbox Series X 1TB console has 802GB of usable space, so the WD Black C50 1TB Expansion Card more than doubles your storage space for games. For 512GB Series S owners, the 1TB C50 is nearly three times larger than the existing usable space on your console (364GB).

As mentioned, the $40 discount on the 1TB C50 is available at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. If you order from Walmart, your expansion card will be shipped directly from SanDisk.

To maximize your storage space for upcoming games you’re looking forward to, you may want to consider splurging for Western Digital’s 2TB Expansion Card. The $50 discount at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy matches the all-time low for the 2TB card. The Seagate 2TB Expansion Card deal is only up for grabs at Amazon.

Western Digital also makes a 512GB model, though it’s rarely sold for less than its $80 MSRP.

The C50 launched in 2023 to compete with Seagate’s Expansion Card, the only other officially licensed storage expansion option for Xbox Series X|S. Seagate’s Expansion Cards used to be incredibly expensive, but the arrival of the C50 led to price drops. Amazon has the 1TB Seagate Expansion Card for $130 (was $150) right now, so you’ll definitely want to opt for Western Digital’s card if you’re buying a 1TB model.

If you’re shopping for a 2TB card, however, you can grab either for the same price. Amazon is offering a $50 discount on Seagate’s 2TB Xbox Expansion Card. Seagate’s 2TB model retails for $250 these days.

Western Digital and Seagate Xbox Expansion Cards offer the same functionality. You simply insert the proprietary storage card into the expansion slot on the back of your console. Your Xbox will recognize the card and allow you to choose if you want to use internal storage or expansion storage as your primary install location. 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.
