If you're anything like us, that 1TB internal SSD storage that came with your Xbox Series X is filling up at an alarming rate. Xbox Series S owners may struggle even more with only 512GB of internal storage to play with.
Thankfully, Microsoft has teamed up with Seagate to offer an SSD Expansion Card for Xbox Series X | S which allows you to boost your storage capacity while maintaining the same peak speed and performance of the console's internal SSD for a streamlined gaming experience.
There are three options currently available; you can choose from either a 512GB model, the extremely popular 1TB model, or a mighty 2TB model, with the latter offering the most extra memory. As of May 2023, the expansion cards have had their RRP slashed in the US making them cheaper than ever!

Cheaper options for Xbox Series X | S Storage
While the Seagate Storage Expansion SSD Card is definitely the best option if it falls within your budget, it's still possible to use any USB 3.1 HDD or SSD with the Xbox Series X.
Unfortunately, using a standard HDD / SDD does come with a few drawbacks – the big one being that you won't be able to play games optimised for Series X and S directly from the USB drive, and will have to transfer them back to your console each time you want to play – but it's still a much better solution than having to download games again and again.
Here's a handy breakdown of how a regular USB 3.1 HDD or SDD compares to the Seagate Expansion Card.
