Grab A 1TB Xbox Storage Expansion Card For $103 Before It Sells Out

rats. It's already sold out.

great. 1 time my amazon account has a issue. this show up...

I clicked this article thinking I was going to buy this but then read about the leak saying another company is going to start making Xbox X comparable SSDs. If that’s true (and I’m guessing it is) then competition should push the prices even lower. Glad I read the not so small print.

sony and microsoft should have allowed sata 3 ssds and nvme storage as standard. looking at tests on the web, going from the fastest nvme drive on ps5 to the slowest makes only milliseconds of difference in loading times. The only real difference was when copying large files it took longer on the slower drive.

1TB isn't enough space, I have it on my Series S and even for $150 that's a lot.

I don't even think MS uses Gen 4 cards, which Sony demands. So there's no reason for the ridiculously high price. Converting a rectangle into a square doesn't warrant an extra $200 for the 2TB card.

Yes, I move games between my external for now, but having a reasonably priced 2TB would be nice.

Update of an old article. Shows as backordered as of 6/9 and the code isn't working. Also, still too much for 1TB of storage.

I understand the need to have something that meets the performance standards but honestly there are better ways to accomplish this than to create a monopoly. Price locking sucks, and there has never been a sale that has offered us an actual value even as far back as the external drives introduction for the 360.

Thank god for Gamepass streaming.

The "1TB is plenty" argument is almost laughable to me. NBA2K, CoD, and MCC installed? That's half your expanded storage right there. I have a 2TB in my PS5 (which I paid the same price for as the system itself out of component shortage fear and I should have known better....) and THAT has been okay for me.

But on my XSX, with a single 1TB card and Game Pass? I'll just say thank god Bernie Sanders stepped in and blocked Comcast from instilling a data cap in my home state... at the height of the pandemic.... because they are the worst kind of scumbags.

Play the games, delete the games 1tb's pretty generous unless character meshes reach 16k textures, with newer ai navigational generation path finding baked into machine learning capabilities followed by a newer ragdoll physics system where deformation goes through everything including characters.

Then 1tb may not be enough.

I hate the proprietary solution tax, you can buy 1TB NVME drives that meet the requirements of even the faster PS5 SSD for less than $150 on sales. While those prices are falling this will stay higher. I expect in the lifetime of this console you will see 2TB options for around it's $220 price tag and meanwhile a comparable 2tb option from Xbox will probably be over $300.

Well, the discount is not BIG enough! I will not get anything less than a 2TB @$250 one and preferably a 4TB.

As one that owns this you really don’t need much beyond it. While it is convenient to be able to switch to different games on the fly, I feel it’s still not necessary to have games packed on the drive that would warrant having that much available space. If I truly cleaned house of games that I’m just not playing right now in my current rotation of 3-4 games, I could probably clear the SSD card out completely. To disclaim, the only drive hog I currently have downloaded is MW2019. I’m sure some of you have both CODs, RDR2, and maybe R6 and actively play between them. Those alone will eat a drive up

For that price I can get an 8 tb of external hdd, i do understand its faster but it stores more games and you don't have to delete and re-download games or updates again.

This is still too damn expensive.
Which sucks 'cause the <1TB internal just already isn't cutting it.

After entering the code it returns "The code is no longer active"

I bought this at full price, and despite that horror, I can't imagine enjoying GamePass without it (and no data cap on my 400Mbps Spectrum service).

Every single week, I download 3-4 games, play them for an hour or two, and delete the ones I don't like. Some of these are 50-100GB these days.

'It's 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 to store games, you'll have to go through the somewhat lengthy transfer process before you can play them on Series X.

Um... I am near certain that is not true... I have a non NVME SSD attached and believe I have played a few games directly from it.
