New discs for Xbox Series X|S
Microsoft has announced 512 GB and 2 TB expansion drives, and approximate prices are also known.
In early October, news broke that Microsoft and Seagate were "cooking" 512 gigabyte SSD expansion drives for the Xbox Series X|S. Everything was quiet from Redmond for a few weeks, and then they only responded and confirmed that it was indeed the case, but that it was all just part of the picture. In addition to the 512-gigabyte version, which will cost 139.99 USD, a 2-terabyte drive will also be available. This one will set you back $399.99, which is certainly not a little, but it's also not as much as you'd fear it would be.
The 512GB drive will be available in mid-November and can already be ordered through Walmart in the US, the 2TB will go up for pre-order in mid-November and will be available in early December, before the holidays…. In the US…
Installing the disk is or will be very simple, as it is only necessary to push it into the empty slot on the back of the console. It will automatically detect it and allow you to install games on it automatically or manually (depending on the settings). Since it is a "dedicated storage expansion card", it will also be possible to run games that are optimized for Xbox Series X | S, and games for Xbox One will work normally through a normal external drive...
