The WD Black C50 Expansion Card for Xbox Drops to the Lowest Price of the Year

Ahead of Black Friday, Amazon has slashed prices on the officially licensed WD Black C50 Expansion Card for the Xbox Series X and S consoles. Right now you can pick up the 1TB model for just $99.99 with free shipping. The WD Black C50 Expansion Card is one of the best SSDs for the Xbox, which isn’t surprising since your options are pretty limited. There’s only one other officially licensed model – the Seagate Expansion – and it currently costs $50 more.

WD Black C50 Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X

The WD Black C50 Expansion Card is essentially a 1TB SSD housed in an external enclosure with a PCIe Gen4 interface that plugs directly into a specialized port on your Xbox console. Unlike the more complex PS5 SSD installation process, which involves opening up the PS5 to access the SSD slot, this drive is literally plug and play. This expansion card offers the same speed as the internal SSD, ensuring that you won’t sacrifice performance or encounter extended load times as you might with a regular USB drive. Even with just the 1TB expansion card, you can double the storage on the original Xbox Series X console and triple the storage on your (white) Xbox Series S console.

If you’re looking for an officially licensed storage solution (which we strongly recommend), your options are limited to either the WD or Seagate expansion cards. If you see any other unlicensed hard drives sold by no-name brands, give them a hard pass; chances are they will either not work properly or not work at all.
