[Hardware]Make a cheaper 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series

[Dean Ambrose™]

 

Xbox Series effortless. Of course, the problem is the price of what is currently the only Expansion Card blessed by those from Redmond.

These are two Seagate models, which arrived a few months after the launch of the Xbox Series installed in them. Now, if you want to enjoy these features, you will have to pay just over 210 euros for the 1TB model and around 180 for the small 512GB model.

How to make one cheaper
It goes without saying that with these models we obtain extraordinary performance due to the quality of the components they come with, but the good news is that we can manufacture our own quickly and, above all, more economically. Specifically, obtaining a 1TB Expansion Card could cost us around 120 euros and a smaller 512GB one for almost 90. How? Behold.

These Seagate models are actually 2230 SSD drives encapsulated in a case that can be connected to the Xbox Series X|S. This is the same type of storage that Steam Deck or ASUS ROG Ally have, so in recent times they have become quite po[CENSORED]r and there are many models available in stores like Amazon. So let's take advantage of this situation.

The first thing is to look for a good 1TB or 512GB SSD, so we leave you a few good quality alternatives:

Now the casing
Once we have the SSD unit, it is time to go look for the case, and here we have models that range from somewhat more modest ones to others that are a bit more expensive, so it will depend on what you want to spend whether you will choose one or the other. In addition, assembly is very simple because you only have to connect the unit to the port and close it by applying force to the ends so that it is well assembled and sealed.

On Amazon you also have alternatives that will be useful to you, like these two that we leave you right below:

Finally, say that if you want to spend as much as the Seagate 1TB Expansion Card costs, you can do so and have double the space by increasing it to 2TB. You would only need to buy a 2230 SSD with those characteristics and that's it. Like the one we leave you below:
