Prepare For Starfield With This Big Discount On A 1TB Xbox Expansion Card

Amazon has a Lightning Deal on Western Digital's 1TB Expansion Card.

30 Comments

If you're running out of space on your Xbox Series X|S, now's the time to expand your storage. Western Digital's 1TB C50 Expansion Card is on sale for $127.49, down from $150, which is the lowest price yet. This is an Amazon Lighting Deal, so you'll have to hurry. With Starfield releasing September 6 and set to take up 126GB of space, this is a great opportunity to more than double your storage.

This tiny card pops into a slot on the back of the Series X and Series S. Along with Seagate's Expansion Card, these devices 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--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 WD_Black 1TB NVMe SSD worth considering.
