"Affordable Xbox Series X/S Storage Expansion Cards Coming Soon"

A new 1TB Western Digital Expansion Card for Xbox Series consoles has been listed on Best Buy's website for $179.99, significantly cheaper than Microsoft's 1TB offering. The expansion card system is unique as it's fully compatible with Xbox's Quick Resume feature, allowing games to be stored in a playable state directly on the expansion cards. While PlayStation 5 storage expansion uses generic hard drives, inconsistent performance between hard drives means that some consumer research is required before purchases, unlike Microsoft's "plug-and-play" solution.
