For years, Xbox 1TB expansion cards from Western Digital and Seagate have hovered around $125 during sale events, rarely dipping below that price. While occasional deep discounts have popped up on sites like Woot, those deals usually sell out within minutes.
Through Cyber Monday, however, the WD Black C50 1TB Storage Expansion Card is down to just $99 at Amazon and $99.99 at Best Buy – a full $50 off the regular price.
When it comes to Xbox storage, this is the best deal of 2024 for these SSDs. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to upgrade your Xbox storage, now is the moment. Even outside of SSDs, this is easily one of the best Xbox Cyber Monday deals available right now.
WD Black C50 - Most Portable Xbox Series X SSD
Your options are limited if you’re looking for a plug-and-play SSD ready to run the best Xbox Series X games and support features like Quick Resume and Velocity Architecture. That makes deciding on an SSD easy, as the Seagate Storage Expansion Card or WD Black C50 are your only options.
Seagate may have dominated the Xbox expansion card market in the past, but Western Digital is an arguably better, and more affordable option. Available in 512GB and 1TB, this compact and durable card offers a more budget-friendly alternative to Seagate’s pricier lineup. The WD Black C50 slots seamlessly into the Xbox Series X’s expansion port, requiring no setup.
For those who don’t need Seagate’s larger 2TB option, the WD Black C50 1TB is an excellent choice. It handles large game files in just a couple of minutes and is small enough to carry between locations, making it a versatile and cost-effective way to enjoy a larger library of Xbox games.
