    You can get an external crucial 2TB external ssd for 120-130. The Xbox USB ports limit the download speeds from 400-500 but the drive is capable of 1000 download on a laptop or anything with usb type c

    I have the seagate expansion card and two SSD drives on my series S. I play so many optimized games I am considering getting another seagate, especially for a future series X. I’m a professional photographer so I look at it like lenses. My camera is my series S (the “inexpensive” part) and the storage is like lenses (goodbye Wallet). Maybe I should just stick to playing my Nintendo switch, where the games cost $60 for a postage stamp. Gaming is expensive as hell. Worth it.

    I NEED extra storage for the X/S optimized games for my Series X. 1 TB storage isn't nearly enough by itself. I HAVE a 3TB HDD from WD but I can't play basically ANY new game that comes out for Series X on it. So is the Seagate expansion card my ONLY option if I want more storage for Series X enhanced games?

      @@chriskunkle4127 just keep an eye out for an Seagate Expansion Card on marketplace/offerup for a decent price then offer even less. I thank God that I found someone that was hard up for cash and had a 2tb Seagate Expansion Card IOB listed for $180 and he eventually said he would take $100. Thought it was too good to be true but when we met up I took it out of the 2tb box and was happy to see the card had the “2tb” on the end! Ended up paying a total of $115 to get him to drive 35 minutes. lol Ive bought 3 of the 1tb Expansions cards for less than $100 in box, sealed on marketplace. And one of them thats I got for $75, I took to best buy and returned it for a $238 gift card to get the 2tb WD Black SN850 for my PS5 expansion port. Both were $220 before tax at the time, so technically I got the 2tb NMvD for $75 lol. Its all about not being in a rush to buy something!

If you are still on 1080p you wont notice a difference between the Xbox One or Series X/S optimized games and you can use any storage you want in that case

    I use a 2tb Samsung 870 QVO SSD with a adapter. If you use a internal SSD or hard drive with a $13 adapter, you can save some money. You can play all your backwards compatible games and some Series optimized games on it. IF you need to transfer a game from or to the internal storage it is extremely fast since it is ssd to ssd. 100 gb game takes just a couple of minutes.

    I've been wanting a PS5 since launch but refuse to over pay. I put in a joke bid on a series S on StockX for $200 and someone accepted it so I'll be going back to Xbox for awhile. Going to try my best to only play a few games at a time and also use my PS4 for some games so hopefully I can skip storage expansion on my S. I know it might be difficult but my goal is to keep it to only 3-4 games on the hard drive at a time and that's it.
