Amazon is offering the WD Black C50 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series consoles at just $119.99 after you clip a $30 coupon on the product page. That's a 20% off price reduction from its original $150 MSRP, making it the best deal we've encountered for a 1TB storage add-on for Xbox. It's also currently $30 cheaper than the Seagate 1TB Expansion Card. Both of these expansion cards are officially licensed by Microsoft.
WD Black C50 1TB Storage Expansion Card (SSD) for Xbox for $119.99
The WD Black C50 expansion card is essentially a 1TB NVME SSD encased in a specialized Xbox-compatible shell. Unlike the more complex PS5 SSD installation process, which involves opening up the PS5 to access the SSD slot, the Seagate expansion card simply plugs into its dedicated port on the back of the Xbox.
This expansion card offers the same speed as the internal SSD, ensuring that you won't sacrifice performance or encounter extended load times as you might with a regular USB drive. With a 1TB expansion card, you can double the storage on your Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S Carbon Black Edition console, and triple the storage on your OG (white) Xbox Series S console.
In contrast to the PS5, there are no alternative methods for adding high-speed storage to your Xbox console. Your options are limited to either the WD or Seagate expansion cards, underscoring the importance of seizing a good deal when one becomes available.
