Western Digital is about to start selling its own storage expansion cards for Microsoft's Xbox Series X|S game consoles. BestBuy listed these cards on its website over the weekend, ahead of a formal launch, revealing that these devices will be cheaper than those exclusively offered by Seagate for well over two years (via The Verge).
The WD_Black C50 Expansion Card for Xbox listed by BestBuy (archive link) has a 1TB storage capacity and is priced at $180. By contrast, Seagate's 1TB storage expansion card has a list price of $220, but is now available for $190 at Amazon. Meanwhile, Seagate's 512GB drive has an MSRP of $110, whereas a 2TB drive costs $360 (down from $400 originally).
