Gamers, brace yourselves for some great news. Cheaper memory cards for the Xbox Series X|S will soon be available on the market. This is excellent news for Xbox players who have been struggling with the limited storage space on their consoles.
Western Digital (WD) is set to release its Xbox Series X|S memory cards soon, and they will be significantly less expensive than Seagate’s drives. Best Buy has confirmed that the 1 terabyte WD memory card will cost $180 U.S. dollars, which is $40 cheaper than Seagate’s 1TB memory card priced at $220.
THE COST EFFECTIVE MEMORY CARD ALTERNATIVE FOR XBOX SERIES X|S OWNERS
Seagate’s proprietary storage expansion cards for the Xbox Series X|S have been the only option for players to increase their console’s storage capacity. However, with the launch of WD’s Xbox Series X|S memory cards, gamers now have a more cost-effective alternative.
The WD memory cards are expected to have the same storage capacity as the Seagate memory cards, with 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB cards likely to be available for purchase. However, the exact models that WD will offer are still unknown at the moment.
THE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING A LARGER STORAGE CAPACITY FOR XBOX SERIES X|S
For Xbox Series X|S owners, the importance of having a larger storage capacity cannot be overstated. The latest generation of games requires larger storage capacities, and the console’s internal storage of 1TB is simply not enough.
For instance, some of the latest games, such as Call of Duty: Warzone and Halo Infinite, require more than 100GB of storage space. With such requirements, players need more storage space to store their games, and the WD memory card offers a more affordable option.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The release of WD’s Xbox Series X|S memory cards is fantastic news for gamers who have been grappling with limited storage space. With the cards being $40 cheaper than Seagate’s memory cards, players can now get more storage space without breaking the bank.
