New Affordable Xbox Expandable Storage Options Available Soon

Microsoft is preparing to introduce new Xbox expandable storage options from other manufacturers, with Western Digital's 1TB expansion card for Xbox Series S / X consoles being the first non-Seagate option. The move is expected to help push prices down, as the Seagate-manufactured cards have remained stubbornly high-priced. The Western Digital card is priced at $179.99, $40 less than the Seagate model, but still overpriced for 1TB storage. Microsoft's decision to go with proprietary storage for its Xbox Series X / S consoles has limited consumer options, while Sony's PS5 allows for a variety of drives on the market.
