I think Microsoft made a crucial mistake not launching the Series S with 1TB storage. They would've sold a lot more hardware + Game Pass membership. I'm honestly surprised they didn't think about this.

@evan5935 6 ай бұрын

I think they shouldhave went with a 1 TB minimum for series s, and 1.5 TB (absolute minimum) or preferably 2 or 2.5 TB for the Series X. One of the only reasons i have so many extra games is because i bought a 512GB sandisk (usb 3.2 gen 2) flash drive which i use to store my BWC games. Amd with the size of games like ark or any newer game, you constantly have to transfer or delete the modern generation games because you play more than 5 games lol

Cause they knew the complaints they’d get for selling a Series X a few months later for the same price, same size storage. They were $350 this year at Walmart for a solid month. How much would a 1TB Series S go for?

The 1tb WD can now be had for £129 here in the UK, and i have to admit that it really does enhance your Series S now you can store a lot more games on it, oh and the speed transfer once seen cannot be unseen, so be aware once you let that speed genie out the bottle you can't put it back in.....oh and the sustained speeds i saw was just under 6gb a second moving the 150 gig MS2020 to the card from internal.

I won't buy from Seagate now that WD is making cards. I am capitalist to my core but there is a difference between offering a product with good profit margins and what Seagate was guilty of, which was price gouging the customer because they had a monopoly on the XBox storge market. I'm glad i held out and waited for a cheaper alternative.

I think Xbox letting other companies compete in the expansion card market is great. Me I love Pc me and the wife game Xbox is remarkable the fact that I can have one family plan, link the pc and her xbox share everything games and ultimate. i remember like 2 years ago when I first got her the series x for her room it was expensive. 700 for the console and a 1Tb seagate expansion card. Since it’s been dropping I think it’s the best time to get infested into the ecosystem. I just got a series s for the downstairs living room on the 75 inch oled. It was amazing with the prices. I got the series s carbon black 1Tb and a western digital C50 expansion 1Tb for 450 no tax Nh, and i know a couple of years ago it would have been wayyy different if I was thinking about adding another setup in the house!

Lol seagate just price matched the price of 150. It's actually more affordable to buy the 2tb seagate expansion for 270. You end up paying 135 per tb as opposed to 150 each

@MarlonKingShow 4 күн бұрын

1TB on the series x is rather lack luster, I'm struggling to install more than 5 games at a time, and given the time to download and install, and given most games don't let you play via disc even with the disc available. It makes it a rather poor design. Expansion is great but never had to do this with past generation consoles, you could just play straight from disc. This last generations one and x (ps4 and 5) have been worst for gamers from a loading and waiting perspective. Really hope they sort it in the next version. Some games have 100gb updates... I doubt they rewrote the whole code base, they have just made updates really unoptimised. Thanks for your video. Storage expansion seems good but still expensive for the purpose required.

I have Xbox series s. I bought the WD external drive, it won’t allow me to play some games on the external drive, only on internal drive. If I got the expansion card would that allow me to play games instead of transferring games back and forth. Couldn’t find much info on this please let me know.
