If you're running out of space on your Xbox Series X or Series S, the most convenient storage solutions are the officially licensed expansion cards from Seagate and Western Digital. The 1TB models, which double your Xbox Series X storage or triple the space on your Series S, are on sale for $140 at Amazon for Prime Day 2023.
Yes, this is only a $10 discount, but we haven't seen discounts on the Western Digital since it launched earlier this year, and this is the best price yet for the Seagate card. The Seagate deal is only available for Prime members, whereas the Western Digital deal is for everyone.
These tiny cards that pop into a slot on the back of the Series X and Series S. They are currently the only external storage option for the new Xbox consoles that will allow you to play Xbox Series X games without transferring the files to the internal drive first.
While you can use a regular external hard drive--like this 5TB Western Digital model that's on sale for Prime Day--to store Xbox Series X|S games, you'll have to go through the transfer process before you can play them on Series X. The convenience is what makes the Seagate 1TB NVMe SSD worth considering.
If you also own a PS5, you can get 1TB NVMe SSDs from Crucial and Western Digital for around $50 each, or 2TB SSDs for around $100 during Prime Day. Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck owners can get a 1TB microSD card for as low as $63.
