WD Black's New 2TB Expansion Card Is Good News For Series X|S Owners

We're now past the four-year mark in the Xbox Series X|S generation, and we still only have two manufacturers creating Expansion Cards for both consoles. That's not great - but at least a new variant has arrived this week!

WD Black has quietly released the 2TB version of its Xbox Expansion Card to retailers over the past few days, following on from the 512GB and 1TB versions that arrived in June of last year. The lowest price you'll find for it at the moment is $199.99 / £213.99 via the SanDisk website, and that includes a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

It's true that you can also find Seagate's 2TB Xbox Expansion Card for around the same price right now, but perhaps that's because of this new WD Black variant. Simply put, we've seen plenty of improved deals on Xbox Expansion Cards ever since WD Black started making them, and it makes sense - competition usually leads to better prices!

So, even if you're not interested in paying $200 for a 2TB Expansion Card right now, this is still news to be celebrated - it means more choice, greater availability and better prices moving forward. The next thing we're hoping for is to see a third manufacturer entering the market, significantly raising the potential of some bargain deals in the future.
