About this deal

It's been almost three years since the launch of the current flagship Xbox console, and the list of must-play Xbox Series X games is growing seriously long. And it’s almost certainly set to get even bigger with Starfield and Forza Motorsport on the horizon. At this point, installing even a modest selection of the best Xbox Series X game isn’t possible on the relatively measly 800GB of usable storage that comes as standard. Plus, the Xbox Series S only offers 512GB, which stretches even less. This officially licensed Xbox expansion card is plug-and-play with your Xbox Series X|S, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility or opening your console to install. This officially licensed Xbox™ expansion card is plug-and-play with your Xbox™ Series X|S, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility or opening your console to install As game file sizes grow, capacities from 1TB let you keep more of today’s top titles installed and ready to go. Games are getting bigger, eating up more storage. Capacities from 512GB to 1TB 2 let you keep more of those titles installed and ready to fire up at a moment’s notice.

Games are getting bigger, eating up more storage. Capacity from 512GB let you keep more of those titles installed and ready to fire up at a moment’s notice. With Starfield and many other top titles on their way to Xbox Series X/S this year, expanding your Xbox storage capacity feels like a must if you want to have multiple games on the go, especially if you're already at the annoying stage of deleting games to make room for others on the console's internal storage. This officially licensed Xbox expansion card is plug-and-play with your Xbox Series X/S, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility or opening your console to install.

Thank you!

Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. As game file sizes grow, capacities from 512GB let you keep more of today’s top titles installed and ready to go. However, this is where the PS5 definitely has the edge. On Xbox, you have no choice but to buy one of two proprietary cards (from either Western Digital or Seagate); however, on PS5 you have a wide variety of third-party options to choose from. Xbox подключается к Xbox Series X|S по принципу plug-and-play, поэтому вам не придется беспокоиться о совместимости или открывать консоль для установки.

It’s also worth noting that the average file size of new releases seems to be creeping up with each passing year. Popular exclusives like Forza Horizon 5 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection demand more than 100GB each, and the Starfield preload window has revealed that the hotly-anticipated Bethesda sci-fi RPG will also demand a chunk of storage in the triple digits. Up until now, Xbox players have had only one officially licensed option to boost their Xbox storage: the Seagate-made expansion cards in sizes 1TB, 512GB and 2TB. Now, Western Digital have released an officially licensed alternative. Games are getting bigger, eating up more storage. Capacity from 1TB let you keep more of those titles installed and ready to fire up at a moment’s notice. It feels extremely sturdy, and while I haven’t had the chance to pull it out hundreds of times to test whether it gets worn down or not, it certainly feels like it can last for years. If you aren’t able to pull your Xbox out, it can be fiddly to pull it to the side or wiggle it out enough to plug in, but if it’s simply sitting on your entertainment system, you’ll have zero problems plugging it in.

Capacities from 512GB to 1TB let you keep more of those titles installed and ready to fire up at a moment’s notice.The write and read speeds are based on the Xbox Series X|S SSDs, which use a custom solution called the Xbox Velocity Architecture. While exact speeds aren’t given by Western Digital for the C50 Expansion Card, it is believed to match that of the Xbox’s internal storage. The speeds above are for uncompressed (2,400 MB/s), and compressed data (4,800 MB/s). Features One thing to note is that in my testing, I found the C50 to have slightly slower boot times for games than ones installed on internal storage. Forza Horizon 5 went from boot-up to in-game in 59 seconds. The C50 managed the same in 1 minute and 9 seconds, so roughly ten seconds off the pace. It’s something you probably won’t notice unless you’re timing it yourself, but certainly worth noting if you’re planning to move your favorite games over to the card.
