Where to buy Xbox Series X|S 2TB and 512GB Expansion Cards
The Seagate 512GB Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S is available for pre-order today from Walmart (opens in new tab) in the United States for $139.99. However, the Seagate 2TB Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S will be available for pre-order in November for $399.99. These are pretty easy to use, all you have to do is shove it in the back of your Xbox. You’ll have to do some tinkering to ensure that your new games install on the expansion card by default. While you can go with any inexpensive storage solution, the Seagate Storage Expansion Cards are the only external SSDs that match the performance of the SSD within the Xbox Series X|S. Going with a cheaper solution means you’re going with a slower solution. We’re excited to get these expansion cards in our hands to beef up our Xbox’s storage and see how fast it really is.
