But because Seagate and Microsoft price gouged this since the Series X came out no one should buy it, especially when the WD expansion card is only just around the corner...

A PS5 costing £479 plus a 1tb nvme with heatsink at about £60 is £540, verses a Series X at £450 plus one of these seagate drives for £139 is £589.
The same tech but in a standard form factor is half the price.
I'm interested because I play maybe a couple of games in parallel, I've never filled the series X drive. And games, even big games, download in a few minutes with a 500mbps connection, I appreciate that's not ubiquitous...
... Or maybe this is for series s people who have smaller drives? Genuinely interested.
I've a Series S and looked at getting one of these but in reality, like yourself, theres a couple of big games i play / want instant access to so i keep them on the internal drive and all the older stuff XBox stuff i keep on an attached SSD drive.
I dont really play the console that much but if i did use it more and was having to swap games in and out by redownloading them i'd likely upgrade to an X rather than spend this sort of money on a card.
Might be different for serious gamers though. (edited)
My tips are
1) Xbox One - get an external SSD and run all games from that, we did that and it gave the console a new life, games load in a third of the time vs the internal HDD
2) Xbox Series - pretty much the same - external SSD for any non-X/S games, and then shuttle games X/S between the external and internal storage when you want to play them. The transfer speeds are so fast we are talking a few seconds for most games.
I do both 1 and 2 and it works a treat.
To be fair our Series X the storage is fine… my son insisted on have Flight Simulator on there but barely plays it, taking up 20% of the internal storage by itself!
It’s the Series S (brilliant, brilliant console) where you can really only have 3-4 AAA titles installed plus smaller games. And it seems anarchic to think of paying £140 for a 1tb expansion when we only bought the Series S for £150 from eBay 2nd hand including the controller!
I understand the point with the system and games being reliant on the transfer speeds from the SSD.
There are new cards coming from Western Digital so basically there's competition in the market now the Seagate deal has expired.
Based on that I'd assume these will now continue to drop in price.
Still expensive but it's good news price wise...
No change to UK pricing
Ive recently just bought a 2TB SSD for my PS5 other month for just a little price over this price, and it's a game changer. Samsung 980 pro, pretty fast works great, 6500 read speeds my ps5 reads it at. (edited)
Yeah, it's more expensive, but it's no longer as bad as you might still want to make out.
