If your main gaming platform is the Xbox Series X or S and you have a particularly deep library, bring it in for a hug. The markups on its proprietary storage cards are exorbitant, but regular discounts are starting to make them a little more affordable. For example,\u00a0Seagate\u2019s 2TB Storage Expansion Card <\/strong>is on sale\u00a0for\u00a0$226.76 (down from $359.99) at Amazon<\/a>, which beats the all-time low by three whole dollars. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The expansion cards are officially licensed by Microsoft and support Xbox\u2019s speedy NVME-based Velocity Architecture to enable quicker data streaming and features like Quick Resume. They\u2019re the only type of storage you can use to play games built for the Series X \/ S. It\u2019s also worth putting older games on the faster storage, though, to speed up load times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Take it from someone who\u2019s been in the trenches. I have close to 2TB of storage between the Series X\u2019s 1TB of internal storage (a good chunk of which the system claims) and the 1TB Seagate card I picked up shortly after launch, yet I\u2019m constantly reshuffling my library to make room for new\u00a0100GB-plus titles and massive surprise updates<\/a>. The Seagate card is pricey, but it\u2019s worth the added headroom, and today\u2019s deal marks a great opportunity to find some relief \u2014 especially with summer game sales coming up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
