Every time I see a game file size that's hundreds of gigabytes big, I have to do some math to work out how many of my other games I'll have to uninstall to enjoy it. But Xbox owners can skip the counting thanks to this new Black Friday deal on SSDs.

Currently, the entire range of Seagate Storage Expansion Card is discounted in Black Friday sales, letting you pick up the 1TB, 2TB or 4TB storage card at a reduced price. Given the high cost of these memory cards at MSRP, any discount is really welcome, and one of these deals has an extra perk thrown in to treat Xbox owners. Let's take a look at the best prices:

If you've not faced any storage problems with your Xbox Series X or Series S, you don't need the Storage Expansion Cards. Keep on as you were. They also don't work for Xbox One or older consoles; only for the Series X or S.

But if you find yourself having to uninstall your favorite games to play new ones, or bumping up against the hundred-plus GB space of current titles, then you should seriously buying one of these cards. They can be plugged into your Xbox really simply, and games will run off of them just fine.

Admittedly, they're a little expensive at MSRP, especially the monstrous 4TB one, but that's what sales are for, right?

The Storage Expansion Cards will be particularly useful to owners of the Xbox Series X. Since that disc-free console can only play digital games, getting several terabytes of extra space will add so much space for new titles.

They'll also be great buys for people who use Xbox Games Pass, so you can download multiple titles from the subscription at once instead of juggling one or two at any time.

But many like them, just for the assurances that you won't need to constantly play Tetris with your storage space to make sure you can play new games when you get them.
