Xbox Storage Upgrade? WD_Black Expansion Card Hits Its Lowest Price in Months on Amazon
A lot of cool new games are on the horizon this year. Obsidian’s first-person fantasy RPG Avowed just dropped. The Doom Slayer will be planted in an epic new medieval setting in Doom: The Dark Ages. Goro Majima will be getting his sea legs in the upcoming Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and a new set of Vault Hunters will be sporting a million new guns in Borderlands 4. The big question you need to ask yourself is “Do I have enough storage to play all these new games?” Well, consider picking up the WD_Black storage expansion card for the Xbox Series X and Series S. This 1TB solid state drive is currently 30% off. That brings the price down from $158 to just $110.
The file size of video games have been ballooning over the past decade to some real unreasonable levels. Even though the Xbox Series X comes with a full TB of storage by default, that’s really not enough these days. The recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 takes up close to 150 GB. If you want more than just handful of games ready to be played without deleting and redownloading stuff, you’ll want an expansion SSD.
Double Your Game StorageThe WD_Black expansion card can triple your Xbox Series X’s storage space by adding another 1TB to your usable space. This external SSD is a simple plug and play solution. It just stick right into the back of your Xbox, no need to open anything up. Then right away you’ll be able to take advantage of your expanded storage.
Microsoft and the Xbox brand have officially licensed the Xbox Velocity Architecture which is used in the base storage that comes with your Xbox Series X. What this means is that the player can still benefit from all of the current generation enhanced memory and storage features of the Xbox Series X while using the WD_Black storage expansion card. That includes Quick Resume which let’s you hop between different games in progress on the fly. You won’t have to reboot at the startup screen when switching between games. Swap out of a mid-fight Mortal Kombat 1 match into a race in Forza Horizon 5 and then swap right back. You’ll find virtually no lag in speed or performance when playing games saved on the WD_Black storage expansion card compared to those save on the internal drive.
The WD_Black storage expansion card is $48 off (a 30% discount) for a limited time. Get one for yourself or as a gift for an Xbox player in your life for just $101.
