Yes, those prices are high, but if you know someone (especially someone with a less roomy Series S). In addition to being functional, the Series S is also something people are likely to only purchase for themselves after spending $300 on a console and an additional $200 on a 1TB expansion card.

Do consoles have less capacity?

While the Series X comes with 1TB of internal storage as standard, the Series S only has 512GB. Furthermore, despite what is advertised, such consoles have less usable capacity than claimed. Adequate storage on the S and X is 802GB and 364GB, respectively, when all required software is considered on the console's disc.

Building your library of AAA titles becomes more of an elimination process than you may want when those adequate storage amounts are combined with the size of the most recent games. However, things don't have to be that way. If you have the money, you can grow.

Additionally, you may relax knowing that adding extra storage to your console is hassle-free once you have the Seagate expansion card. Unsheathe the card and place it in the card slot on the back of your console to play; no formatting is required, and there's no need to pry your console open.

Plug and Play

It used to be necessary to transfer downloaded games to console hard drives to play them; this time-consuming process made me choose which games to unload a painful triage exercise. Which games do I keep, and which do I delete? However, Seagate's cards behave like your console's specialised storage. This implies that you may play games that you download onto Seagate's expansion card.
