Excellent
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Seagate Storage Expansion Card is an easy, if pricey, way to add 1TB of storage to your Xbox Series S or X, while nearly matching the internal SSD's fast performance.
MSRP $219.99
$218.88 at Amazon
"At $219.99 it's pricey, but not that much more expensive than comparable external SSDs"
So, doesn't sound like there are HUGE profit margins on this that some are mentioning, probably the reason that there are no other options currently.
I hate the pricing, but fair is fair in this market. Now, give it another 6 months to a year as Gen 4 1TB+ falls in price; if this is still at $180+ and most of the SSDs are in the $100 range, then we can complain about the obnoxious price difference.
As it is, it's really not that terrible.
As for subsidizing them lol yeah right not at this price.

Hey you want to buy it go ahead, the rest of us will wait it out for when the price becomes fair. Luckily I still got plenty of storage on mine.

Internal Xbox is 2.4 GB/s raw, but 4GB/s compressed. Gotta compare both speeds.
The drive is priced accordingly for the speeds you're getting to hit the fast resume feature.

Again, is there a gain from much faster ssds, NOT REALLY, why not, because these consoles have so much god damn ram, It's not really going to need a huge disc cache anyway.
Relative to this product, it's a money maker for Microsoft to nickle and dime us just like their controllers. Nothing more. It's really my own fault for buying consoles.
A lot of this drive bashing is Sony fans talking trash but they'll gobble them up at the same price when they finally get this storage option.
