When Microsoft unveiled its Xbox Series X game console, the company announced that the internal SSD could be expanded via an optional Storage Expansion Card , which slides into a dedicated slot on the back. The same is true for the Xbox Series S.
We received such a card to our test laboratory. It is manufactured by Seagate and currently only has one 1TB capacity. The card complements the game console's internal storage, promising the same level of performance thanks to support for the Xbox Velocity Architecture . In the case of the Xbox Series X, we get a doubling of the initial capacity , and the Xbox Series S - a triple . The price of the card is from 20 thousand rubles , which is more than half the cost of the Xbox Series S. Is it worth buying a card? Wouldn't it be better to use an external hard drive or SSD with a USB connection? We will talk about this in the article.
“We are proud to have Seagate at the forefront of the next generation gaming market. Our memory card for Xbox Series X | S allows you to store more games and offers breakneck speed on par with your console's internal storage. Said Jeff Fochtman, Senior Vice President, Seagate. "
