Xbox Expansion Card Gets Nice Discount, Will Sell Out Quickly
Best Buy has a great deal on the Western Digital Black 1TB C50 Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S. As part of the retailer’s “Drops” program, you can snag the card for $125 (was $150). This matches the best price ever at Best Buy and is the cheapest offer since Black Friday. Best Buy Drops is a relatively new initiative that is essentially the equivalent of Amazon’s Lightning Deals. It’s used for restocked items that will sell out fast and limited-time deals that are particularly good. At the time of writing, Best Buy still had roughly two-thirds of its inventory left–but the deal will likely disappear within a day.

$125 (was $150)
To get the WD Black 1TB C50 deal, you need to log into your My Best Buy account and purchase through the retailer’s mobile app.
You can run out of space on your Xbox Series X|S surprisingly fast. The Series X has 802GB of usable space, while the Series S clocks in at 364GB. Modern AAA games eat up space quickly, and if you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, deleting games to make room for new ones can become the norm. The WD Black C50 is one of two official storage solutions. Your alternative is Seagate’s Expansion Card, which is going for full retail price of $150 at Amazon–Amazon is also selling the WD Black C50 for $150.
Western Digital also has a 512GB C50 for $80, in case you don’t think you need 1TB and want to save some cash.
