Alright, let’s dive right in – Seagate’s doing this wild thing, and I clearly can’t get my head around it. They just dropped this mega 4TB Storage Expansion Card for the Xbox Series X|S. And yeah, shocker, it’s going for a whopping $499.99. My wallet’s screaming, “Abort mission!” but what do I know.
Okay, so they’ve been selling 1TB and 2TB ones for a while now. I suppose some folks find it a pain to shuffle games around – delete, install, repeat – like a never-ending cycle of digital hoarding. Take Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for instance, gobbling up 400GB just ‘cause you glanced at it. Seriously?
This new card is like, massive storage-wise. Imagine a digital closet where you toss every game you own. But here’s the kicker: getting too comfy with storage only means more room for random impulsive downloads. Updates won’t nag either – hopefully.
I know what you’re thinking. Is it worth it? Well, these cards play nice with Xbox Series X|S – quick as a hiccup, they say. Unlike regular external drives, you actually run games straight off the card. Convenience comes at a price, right?
All the fancy tech jargon boils down to quicker load times. Texture pop-ins? Nah, not today. Oh, and backwards compatibility? Boosted performance for oldies. Oldies but goodies – I’m totally into that.
Seagate’s stuck to their guns – the 4TB’s hardware is basically the 1TB and 2TB pumped on storage steroids. You’d think it’d be chunkier, but nope, same size, same snazzy cache. Funny how things work.
Listen, this isn’t budget-friendly. We’re talking $500, give or take. But then again, snagging one at Best Buy might save you $70 – not chump change for sure. And you know Amazon’s in on the action, both Stateside and across the pond. UK’s got Argos, ebuyer, Scan – the whole shebang.
Here’s the hilarious bit – it’s as if Seagate priced this thing against actual Xbox consoles. Like, do you ponder more storage or a whole new setup? By the end, quadrupling storage could make you twitch with excitement. Or skepticism. Or both? No clue.
