Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card deal

I was holding out for the Amazon Prime Day deals to score a great discount on the Xbox Series X SSD. But I don't think I will now.

While Prime Day proper kicks off on July 16 and 17, there are early Amazon Prime Day gaming deals, and TechRadar Gaming has spotted some properly compelling SSD discounts.

The below deals let you upgrade your Xbox Seres X with 1TB or 2TB expansion cards. And you’ll want that capacity, as games continue to bloom in size with recent big hitters Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 gobbling up more than 100GB of SSD space.

When the Xbox Series X arrived in November 2020 it was quickly filled by the aforementioned Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card. But as this card uses high-speed SSD architecture and is custom-built for the Series consoles, it cost a hefty $219 / £219 – that was nearly the price of the Series X and almost the whole price of an Xbox Series S.

Thankfully, the 1TB card has come down in price and the arrival of the WD_Black C50 means you can get an extra terabyte of solid-state storage for around $150 / £150.

We're seeing some discounts right now, which you can check out below if you're interested in striking before the Prime Day proper. I'd suggest jumping quickly on Xbox SSD deals as I've seen them sell out quickly in the past.

Xbox SSD deals you can get right now in the US and UK

Going by previous Amazon sales days, I'm not sure prices of the above SSDs will drop much lower.

It's also worth checking out deals from the likes of Best Buy and Walmart in the US, and Currys and Very in the UK as those retailers will often slice the prices of their tech products as a bit of a retort to the Prime Day deals.
