Update: This excellent Seagate official Xbox expansion card SSD deal is still live! We covered it before, earlier this week, but the great news is that if you want to capitalize this weekend, then you still can. Avoid the Prime Day rushes and bag yourself the best Xbox SSD going. Read on below for our original post and all the information you need, as well as some tweaked and new information for today.
Official hard drives for the new-gen consoles have been in constant supply since their launch given the extensive libraries that can be played on the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S - and external hard drive deals like this one are perfect to help out with that.
The 1TB capacity variant of the official Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S is still at its record-low price at Amazon US today and can be had for an absolute steal. In the US, the expansion card is down to $149 at Amazon (was $219.99), and in the UK you can get the card for £149.99 at Very (was £219.99). As we say, the US price is a record-low deal so there's literally never been a better time to buy the card and boost your storage. The UK price is a tenner off its record-low but still represents excellent value. The 2TB variants are also on offer at lowest ever prices - this would sort you out for the rest of the generation (probably) and get you the objective best Xbox SSD in the process. In the US, the 2TB is $279 at Amazon (was $359.99), and in the UK it is down to £269.99 and Amazon (was £457.81 - though we think Amazon listing that RRP is a little off the mark).
But why should you invest in the official expansion card? After all, it's more expensive right? Well, a big benefit of going with the official expansion card is that, even though it sits on the consoles' exterior, instead of a regular USB connection, it uses a bespoke connection that connects directly to the motherboard of the machine. This is something that other Xbox Series X hard drives and SSDs cannot do so really sets the official products apart. While that sounds very flashy, the reality and practical application of it means that you can store and play Series X-enhanced games directly from it - something that regular USB external drives cannot offer. This alone makes it the best Xbox Series X storage solution by far.
As a result, that makes this offering one of the best early Prime Day Xbox Series X deals we've seen so far.
