This represents a significant 28% discount off its original $250 MSRP, making it the lowest price we've ever seen for a licensed 2TB Xbox expansion card. The C50 ranks among the top SSD choices for Xbox, which is expected given the limited selection of compatible options on the market.

The WD Black C50 expansion card is essentially a 2TB NVMe SSD housed in a custom shell designed for Xbox. Unlike the more involved PS5 SSD upgrade process—which requires opening the console—the WD card plugs directly into a dedicated port on the back of the Xbox. It delivers identical speeds to the console's internal SSD, so you won't experience any performance drop or longer load times like you might with a standard USB drive. Adding a 1TB card doubles the storage of an Xbox Series X and triples the capacity of the (white) Xbox Series S.
If you're in the market for an officially licensed storage solution—which we highly recommend—your choices are essentially limited to WD or Seagate expansion cards. This makes finding a great deal all the more important when one appears.
