You could potentially triple the storage capacity of your Xbox Series X / S.

From Monster Hunt Wilds to Ninja Gaiden 4, there are a ton of great Xbox Series X / S games coming out this year. Luckily, if you need more storage to play them all, Western Digital’s officially licensed WD_Black C50 Storage Expansion Card for Xbox is down to its best price since Black Friday, with the 1TB model going for $109.99 ($48 off) at Amazon, B&H Photo, and SanDisk’s online storefront. You can also pick up the 2TB configuration from Amazon, B&H Photo, and SanDisk for $199.98 (about $50 off), which — like the 1TB version — is just $10 more than its lowest price to date.

Like Seagate’s Storage Expansion Cards, Western Digital’s NVMe-based expansion cards are one of the few on the market that not only store games but also let you play them directly from your console’s storage (no data transfer required). They offer speeds that are nearly as fast as your console’s built-in storage, too, so you don’t need to worry about running into any performance issues like you would if you were to use a traditional external hard drive or other USB-based storage solutions. 

What’s nice, too, is that they support many of the quality-of-life features found on Microsoft’s latest consoles, including the handy Quick Resume function, which allows you to run multiple titles simultaneously and quickly switch between suspended games in an instant. The compact plug-and-play cards are also incredibly easy to install — just insert them into one of the dedicated ports on your console, and you’re all set.
