It is one of the advantages of Xbox Series X | S, but at the same time, one of the most controversial accessories that we can buy for our consoles of this generation. Seagate’s 1Tb SSD expansion card, and recently the 500Gb, have been the best but also the only options we’ve had to expand our state-of-the-art storage that takes advantage of all the features of the “Xbox Velocity Architecture”. But we knew that sooner or later this reign would end and that moment has arrived.
Because the biggest problem has been their price, €249 for 1Tb, costing almost the same as a brand new Xbox Series S, something that did not suit many users. However, recent discounts have come to put it below a more “acceptable” €180-190. And that’s where we see that Western Digital will move, the other big brand in the world of storage, also known as WD, which seems to have the WD_BLACK C50 de 1Tbthe first official SSD expansion card for the Xbox Series from Western Digital.

Its price is $179.99, much lower to begin with than those of Seagate itself, so the options begin to expand and therefore, the competition between brands, which in the end, ends up having an impact on prices, which will go going down progressively. Or at least, we hope so.
