Don't waste your money on the Seagate Expansion Card, the WD Black C50 is even cheaper
With any big sales event comes a myriad of digital storage deals. Us gamers are spoiled for choice this Prime Day with plenty of SSDs and portable hard drives to choose from.
If you play on Xbox Series X or S, however, there are two drives we know you'll have your eye on. For most players, the go-to choice when it comes to the best Xbox Series X hard drives is the Official Seagate Expansion Card. Since the launch of the platform, that drive has been the staple solution if you want to Quick Resume games on an expanded drive, and otherwise boost your storage space without annoying transfers or slower load times.
The Official Seagate Expansion Card has been usurped this year, however, which I feel like not everyone is aware of. Gaming storage brand WD Black released the C50 card - which is on offer for even less than Seagate's this Prime Day. In the 1TB model, the WD Black C50 is only $124.99 at Amazon in the US, and £129.99 at Amazon in the UK.
While the two mini SSDs have battled it out with price manoeuvring in the past few months, it's WD Black's version I'd recommend today. Not only is it cheaper, but both drives do pretty much the exact same thing - so why pay more for Seagate's, which is $129.99 in the US?
