I am once again telling Xbox gamers not to buy the Seagate Expansion card

gamesradar.com:

Not all Black Friday deals are built equally - and we often get a hint that some might be worse than others months in advance. Back in October Amazon held its Big Deal Days event, marking the second Prime-exclusive sale of the year. As always, it sparked loads of other retailers to join in the fun and do a dress rehearsal for Black Friday, and while scouring the shelves, I noticed that Xbox gamers weren't getting the best value for money they could.

If you play on Xbox Series X or S, you have two options if you want to expand your internal storage. On one side, you have the popular, and well-known Official Seagate Expansion Card, and then you have the WD Black C50 - which only launched earlier in 2023. 

While the Seagate option is usually the one most people flock to when it comes to these big deal events, the WD Black C50 is often the cheaper of the two. Right now, in a Black Friday Xbox deal for example, you can get the 1TB WD Black C50 for only $124.99, whereas a 1TB Seagate Expansion Card will set you back $129.99 - and that's if you can find stock of it. 

The differences in price here aren't exactly massive, but it's worth knowing that these two storage devices are functionally the exact same. They're both an extension of the console's internal storage, meaning they slot in the back of your Series S or X, and can both launch your games in a heartbeat. Out of all the best Xbox Series X hard drive options out there, these are the only two that Quick Resume will work with. In other words, these are as close as you'll get to an internal NVMe SSD for the PS5. 

Black Friday is all about making your money go further, so I wouldn't be doing my job right if I didn't tell you that there's absolutely no need to fork out more
