Score a 2TB Xbox X|S SSD for Just $199.99 During the Final Day of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale

It’s the final day of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. Luckily, we’re still seeing plenty of massive deals dropping, and if you’ve got the Xbox Series X or S you won’t want to miss this one. Both the 2TB and 1TB WD_Black C50 drives are on sale. The 2TB option has $60 knocked off the list price, while you can score the 1TB drive for 30% off. Those are the lowest prices we’ve seen in 2025!

Given the Series X comes with only 1TB of storage (and it’s not all usable) and the Series S slashes that space almost in half, an expansion card is one of the best Xbox accessories you can grab, especially if you’ve got a healthy library of games. However, not all expansion cards are created equal, as only some let you run Xbox games directly from the SSD. The WD_Black C50 is one of the few that do, which is why it’s one of IGN’s top SSDs for Xbox Series X|S.

The WD_Black C50 is a simple plug-and-play solution, easily slotting into the console’s expansion slot. It’s basically NVME SSD storage specialized for Xbox, but far simpler to set up than many of the best PS5 SSDs. In a matter of minutes, the drive will be ready to install and play games. Compared to the Xbox’s internal storage, games should feel exactly the same, thanks to the expansion card’s Xbox Velocity Architecture. Transfer speeds will be just as snappy while boot times will only be marginally slower.

If you’ve got a massive collection of games that you want ready to play at a moment's notice or even just a couple of games that take up the lion's share of the storage, Western Digital’s discounted 2TB drive is the way to go. For smaller needs, you can’t go wrong with the 1TB option. Still, no matter which size you grab, the compact, durable design makes the external SSD an ultra-portable storage solution for the Xbox Series X|S. Plus, it’s one of the few options officially licensed by Xbox.
