The $399 2TB Seagate Expansion Card for the Xbox Series X/S is an incredibly pricy accessory. It's one of three NVMe drives that Seagate offers to expand storage on the Xbox Series X|S. Seagate is the only company manufacturing these NVMe drives, and also makes 512GB and a 1TB expansion card as well.
Purchase a Seagate Expansion Card - amzn.to/3HSY71C
Seagate Expansion Cards are the fastest and most efficient external storage options for the Xbox Series X|S. But are they worth the price? They handle Xbox Series X | S optimized games incredibly well, so well that any games running on a Seagate Expansion card will act and feel like they're running on the internal storage. That's not the case for games running off an external HDD or SSD via USB.
Check out my other video on the 1TB drive "Seagate Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S Review" here - • Seagate Expansion Card...
When you start to compare the "cost-per-gig" to alternative storage options, the Seagate Expansion Card is still a ripoff. You can get a much cheaper HDD or SDD, but they will have their limitations. The good news is that the NVMe technology should get cheaper as time goes on.
One thing to consider, a 2TB Xbox Series X Expansion Card would give you a 3TB Xbox Series X! If you're using a Series S, you'd have over 2.5TB of storage by purchasing this card! It will definitely hurt the wallet though. Are you going to get a Seagate Expansion Card?

What do you use for extra storage on your Xbox?

@maxb4893 2 года назад

I own the 1TB expansion card for my Series S. If I owned the Series X, and if I were also inclined to buy a majority of the games to truly own from Gamepass tryouts, then I'd go with the 2 TB option. Hear me out. I believe the 1 TB option paired with the S is an excellent option, especially if you're lazy and don't want to move stuff around all of the time while simultaneously trying to enjoy the series enhancements. After all, you get close to 1.37 TB of usable space. However, it should be only considered for budget gaming with all the benefits you can get with it. For those that are completely on a budget, or simply don't own a Series X, then don't go with the 2TB option. Go with the 1TB tops. Pay for the premium if you're intention is to max out the console experience, while being lazy at the same time anyway.

@DPTBassment 2 года назад

Got a 5TB hdd for 99bucks. I store the games I’m currently playing on the internal. The way i look at is I can only play so many games at once anyway.

@maxb4893 2 года назад

@@DPTBassment Fair enough. I don't regret my decision though. I use Quick Resume so much that it's not even funny... Also, I know that it doesn't take very long to transfer content in between drives, even the mechanical ones. However, I'm lazy and just want to play everything, that I'm in the mood for any way, all in one package. It's all good though. So long as everyone gets what they want, to each their own. I got what I wanted. Hopefully all of that makes sense.

the mayor issue with the card is that xbox doesnt allow other manufacturers like wd or samsung to develop their own. its a monopole situation for seagate and it really makes the price stable over the years. its the same price as 2 years ago

I mean the cost of the NVMe drives in the next gen consoles are pretty expensive on their own, so it's just not feasible for them to put say a 2TB drive and still charge $500. We will probably see 2TB versions later on when the price drops on the drives.

@barndweller4573 2 года назад

I have watched a few videos about this expansion card. What no one talks about is this type of device (solid state storage) does not have unlimited writes. So copying the came over to your internal storage every time you want to play it is going to shorten the life of your internal storage. How much? depends on how much you use it.

@UncleBiscuits1979 2 года назад

While that is true to an extent, today's modern SSDs have an EXTREMELY HIGH durability for writes. Just doing the worst case scenario on writing to an SSD (which even the most hardest of hardcore xbox user would never get close to), that drive will still last about 50 -100 years. So that's really not an issue anymore.

@poisonedtruth 2 года назад

I currently have a 1TB expansion card and although the 2TB won’t be an immediate purchase I will end up buying it. I think you are missing a huge point. Most new games are HUGE! That being said my internet is slow. I don’t have a lot of download speed so I really need to store everything I might want to play. Mind you I also have a 5TB ext HDD which I upgraded shortly before I got my series x. I was just out of space on my old 2 TB ext hdd. That’s important I was already out of space before the series consoles. Now with the them converting games to upscale my “designed for series x/s” alone takes up almost all of my ssd storage. As you pointed out it is super annoying transferring between internal and external. The 400 usd price tag is ridiculous I can’t deny that. In my situation all you can really do is shrug and say well that sucks give them their money and move on. Lastly sometimes* there is a difference between game files destiny 2 for example download it on a regular Xbox one a non series. Then using your external try to transfer it over to a series console it won’t work. So if you are going to play the library shuffle game just be aware some games require different versions.

@SadCoffeeBear 2 года назад

I would have preferred the consoles to have say 4-5TB and be insanely expensive but I have to admit having both the 1TB and 2TB card. They do help alot with game and space management. Probably the most I've spent on a console + accessories in my life but I do love what I get from high quality gaming and the cards themselves so I personally can't complain about the price.

@DedricSilva 2 года назад

I'm considering getting it once i get my Series X.

@Supersteam09 2 года назад

1TB should be enough if you’re casual or don’t game very often. PS5, I had to go 2TB because those games eats up space very fast. Plus I saw the Samsung 980 Pro with Heatsink 2TB for less than $300 and I couldn’t refuse.

No clue why this card is controversial. I bought it for my xbsx. Microsoft is literally charging the same amount of money as any nvme drive. I just bought a 2 tb drive for my ps5 and it was also $400. Memory is expensive atm. Nothing we can do about that. The only con I see is that it’s a proprietary drive while the PS5s isn’t and can be reused outside of gaming.

@TweitenTech 2 года назад

@TOdoubledizzle24 11 месяцев назад

If you are truly commited to gaming its worth it and almost necessary. If you are just a casual gamer you probably dont have enough games to fill the internal storage and its not worth it. You have to know you and this will make your gaming setup very expensive!

Thing is. This is a must. I started in the N64 then PS1 day. So, I remember my PS2 memory card was 128MB. And it went so far. Memory has bigger and bigger each generation. I remember the Xbox 360 going to GB and that seemed loads. So, 1TB on my Xbox Series X. I thought you’d never come close to using that. Oh boy. It’s not even remotely close to being enough. All my games are digital an installed now. And they’re BIG files now games. So, 11 games in. Memory near on gone. Fallout 4 and Skyrim with 100’s of mods. All my memory is totally gone now. So, I have no choice. I just have to pay this Seagate 2TB expansion pack. It’s on offer ATM at half the price nearly. £189. I mean the thing costs nearly as much as little baby Xbox Series S. So, only Xbox Series X owners like me will be getting this. If an Xbox Series S owner bought this. Why go for the budget model. TBF. I doubt they’d have issues as much with memory.

@@AreYoOk don’t ask me. I guess, some people had crazy saves. Game like Final Fantasy at the time used a lot of SPACE. Also people use put no game things on it. It’s been so long. I can’t even remember. I’m pretty I need two memory cards, as they just didn’t have enough space. But, I can’t remember if that was the PS1 or PS2. It’s all so long ago. I’ve got so used to console having the memory now. I switched the Xbox from the Xbox 360 onwards, and they all have the memory within the console (I know the PlayStation did from that era on too). What is crazy. My Xbox Series X has 1 Terabite of space. I was thinking, Jesus, I will never use all that space. It’s silly, I kid you not. It’s not even remotely close to being enough. Not even remotely. As I downloaded all games for the store now (and even if you have a disc, it has to be downloaded onto the console doenst it. I don’t know. I just don’t buy disc now. No point). These games, next gen, are like 100GB+ EASY. Barely save 6-7 games in your library, I have to keep deleting and re-downloading games!

Apart from the price £££ $$$! my main complaint is you DON'T get 1tb(1024Gb) or 2tb(2048Gb) storage. In my opinion it's a con.

@TweitenTech 2 года назад

Yeah, the way it’s formatted/shipped to you makes it come with less storage. The 1 TB model comes with, I think, about 920GB. And the 2TB comes with about 1.8 TB. It does suck 😔

@Jayrod64 2 года назад

These are literally overpriced CFExpress cards, but designed in such a way that they only fit in the Xbox. Yeah they're great if you want to expand your storage for Xbox Series X|S games, but it's honestly not as simple as how the PS5 handles storage expansion with a common M.2 NVME 4.0 slot. These things cost as much as the console itself.

@xibeon 2 года назад

400$? That's it? I wish the 2tb storage would cost that much here in Germany. As of now the cheapest offer you can get is 467€(!!) - that's about 535$(!).

I only purchased it because I plan on keeping my series x and s for yeeeeears. I actually love remote play and it requires downloaded games. Over time that adds up,especially with all the games that are only playable via internal storage. Price sucks still but that’s were we are in 2022

And feel this weight of responsibility to play the hundreds of games I've purchased and never touched. And then tell myself OK, I'm going to have to put some rules in place for my impulsive nature. 1_You don't even need to just "Glance" over at games section or Online games store. 2_ If you haven't even played the first game in a franchise, don't buy all it's sequels too. 3_Just bc it's on sale, you're not actually saving money if you never had any intentions of ever buying the game before. 😉

as someone who was born in the early 80s the first game system i had was an atari 2600 and then a nintendo and then a super nintendo and then a playstation etc etc i didn't choose to like gaming I've been conditioned at an early age to like it, no impulse buying issues and alot of my games i got for free or were discounted either on the online store or g2a or used from a game stop or game exchange store i never pay full price for any game if i don't have to, xbox one is almost 10 years old thats alot of time to accumulate games i can see having alot after a one year launch but in a 10 year span its to be expected to have a huge amount

@matthewhardwick8208 21 день назад

My biggest concern is will these expansion cards be compatible on the next gen Xbox? I'm pretty sure Microsoft will support it because they're expensive storage solutions. People would be incredibly mad if they paid all of this money for 1 or more cards and they don't work.

@doomslayer3351 9 месяцев назад

I'm unfortunately going to have to get an overpriced POS like this because the Series X fills up insanely fast, especially since it installs all backwards comparible Xbox and Xnox 360s games. I have double the 360 games with their updates on my 360 but because you only have to install updates and DLC, not most of the games themselves, and I still have over 400GB left on its 500GB HDD but my Series X already has only 200GB left even though I only have 5 Xbox One and Series games, one of which is a collection of old 2D games and only like a gig large.

I waited a year. Did the whole redownloading things didn’t bother me or my wife who were both on series x cause we share plus my rig. She works from home for the cable company doing business so we got business internet here so I could download games pretty quick. The WD black card came out for the series consoles. Which made seagate drop there’s for the same price. So was able to get the same card for 149 no tax up here for 1TB under the price of the 399 for two 1TB for both our x’s. Always better to wait.
