(Pocket-lint) - As was rumoured conscionable a mates of weeks ago, Xbox has announced caller retention sizes for the Series S and Series X's enlargement cards, made successful concern with Seagate.
We had plentifulness of grounds that the smaller of the caller cards was coming, astatine 512GB, but it's besides being joined by a 2TB enactment for those who truly bash privation swathes of abstraction for their console.
The smaller thrust costs $139.99, portion the biggest mentation is acceptable astatine a chunky $399.99, and the smaller enactment is present available to pre-order from Walmart successful the US, up of a motorboat successful mid-November. Retailers successful the UK and Europe volition doubtless look reasonably soon, too.
The 2TB thrust is seemingly a small delayed, and volition seemingly motorboat successful aboriginal December, with pre-orders successful November. You tin find afloat details of the caller cards, including instructions connected however to instal them successful lawsuit you weren't wide connected that, connected the Xbox blog post announcing them.
The quality volition beryllium a boon for anyone who fancied expanding their storage, particularly connected the somewhat restrictive Series S, but wasn't thrilled by the terms of the modular 1TB drive. That said, the 512GB paper is inactive hardly priced astatine the fund extremity of the market.
By comparison, it isn't excessively challenging to find a PS5-compatible interior SSD, with treble the retention astatine 1TB, positive a third-party heatsink, for that aforesaid price.
