If at this point you are still suffering from install new games on your Xbox Series X or, especially, on the small Xbox Series S, an increase in internal storage is probably what you need. And it is that the 512 GB of the Xbox Series S falls short quite soon, so the only solution we have left is to buy an expansion card. Wait, do they look expensive to you? Well calm down, Western Digital going to launch a cheaper one.
WD Black expansion card for Xbox
With the classic design of the line W.D. Blackthese memory cards will arrive with capacities of 1TB so you can keep expanding your Xbox’s memory and installing more games until you get bored (well, more like until you run out of space again). The memory It has been seen for the first time in the Best Buy catalogand although the company has removed the product from its website, everything has been recorded on the internet forever.
Since Western Digital they have not yet officially announced the product, but thanks to the distributor’s publication we know that this 1 TB card will be priced at $179.99an amount that would be $40 less than the only memory available for Xbox so far, the Seagate Expansion Card for Xbox Series X | S.
finally cheaper
The problem with Xbox Series X | S memories is that they use a proprietary format that prevents the use of conventional memories. We know that they are CFExpress cards, however, when connecting this type of memory the console does not recognize them. This forces the user to depend solely on the official memories that are sold in stores, whose price of 260 euros is excessive when compared to the PS5 SSD memories.
The arrival of this Western Digital model would finally open up a range of options that, although it would continue to be scarce, would raise a new price with which manufacturers would fight to have the best possible sale price, and that can only benefit the user.
Are they really that expensive?
The problem with all this is whether the memories are really as expensive as they are painted. The first thing that many may think is that 1 TB SSDs are around 120 euros, however, as we have commented, these memories are CFExpressand unfortunately they are more expensive.
You just have to shop around Amazon to see that the price of these memories is exorbitant, so even the official prices of Seagate and Western Digital may even be excellent. We’ll see if they will reduce their prices even more, but something tells us that we are going to stay with these amounts for a long time.
In the meantime, we will wait for the official announcement from Western Digital to know definitively the price in euros of this memory and its availability.
