If you were lucky enough to score a new Xbox over the holidays, you might need to free up some space for new games before the turn of the new year. Thankfully, if you’d like to expand the storage of your new console, the WD_Black C50 expansion card has never been cheaper. The 1TB model is currently discounted to just $109.99 at Amazon (was $157.99), while the 2TB version is also on sale for $189.99 (was $259.99). The C50 is more affordable, and offers comparable performance to the first-party expansion card model from Seagate.
While the Xbox Series X is a solid console, the standard 1TB SSD doesn’t stretch very far when stacked up against the frankly massive storage requirements necessary for modern AAA titles. For instance, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Diablo 4, a pair of games available through Xbox Game Pass, can take up almost a quarter of your storage in one go.
