Seagate has quietly launched a new 4TB memory card for Xbox Series X/S, which is currently available exclusively through Best Buy. This card offers double the space of the previous 2TB model, but comes with a high price of $499.99, which is almost equal to the price of the Xbox Series X console itself.
What does the new 4TB card bring?
Seagate's 4TB memory card uses the same proprietary CFExpress format as previous models, allowing for easy "plug-and-play" memory expansion without the need for additional settings. The card is designed to work with Xbox Velocity Architecture, meaning it supports fast loading, Quick Resume, and performance identical to that of the console's internal SSD.
High price sparks reactions
While the additional storage space may be appealing to gamers with large game libraries, even the currently reduced price of $429.99 has drawn criticism from the community. Many users point out that it is possible to purchase standard 4TB NVMe SSDs for PCs at significantly lower prices, raising questions about the justification for the high price of this proprietary card.
Conclusion
The new 4TB Seagate memory card for Xbox Series X/S provides a significant expansion of storage space, but at a price that is almost equal to the console itself. For gamers who prioritize additional space and are willing to pay a premium price for easy memory expansion, this card may be a worthwhile investment. However, for many, the high price will be a barrier, especially considering the availability of cheaper alternative storage solutions.
