The Seagate Xbox Expansion Card is a must-have accessory for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S . 
It's a plug-and-play drive with quick enough speeds to play games right from the card. 
But the Seagate Xbox Expansion Card is running out of stock. 
Scanning the web shows retail listings with warnings of low stock or a lack of stock at all. 
Other stores have the cards but at inflated prices. 
If you want to get a Seagate Xbox Expansion Card, you need to act quickly. 
Below, I'll list all places I've found the card in stock. 
It's now difficult to find them at all, let alone at a good price. 
This card allows you to expand the storage of your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S. 
Stock is extremely limited. 
1TB at GameStop for $199.99 
2TB at Walmart for $299 
2TB at GameStop for $299.99 
2TB at Adorama for $349.99 
1TB at Newegg for $362.01

Is it a good time to buy a Seagate Expansion Card? 
You can skip game file management and space issues with the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox. 
(Image credit: Windows Central) Right now is a good time to buy a Seagate Xbox Expansion Card for three reasons. 
First, the card is below its launch price at certain retailers. 
Second, the card is running out of stock, so if you want one you need to act quickly. 
Third, games like GTA 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will take up a lot of space, so you'll need more storage. 
Gaming prices are out of control right now. 
RAM and storage seem to get more costly each month. 
There aren't signs of the market correcting any time soon, either. 
The most pressing factor here is that stock of the Seagate Xbox Expansion Card is running out. 
Literally as I wrote this article, Best Buy marked the card as unavailable. 
Newegg and Amazon have the card in stock but at wildly inflated prices. 
The only Seagate Xbox Expansion Cards I've found in stock are the ones listed above, including the 2TB model at Walmart . 
If you spot a model in stock, please flag it and I'll update this piece.
