Seagate announces two more storage sizes for the Xbox Series X|S

Up until now, you were limited to 1TB of expansion for Xbox Series X|S owners who wanted to increase the capacity of their console for games that have to utilize the faster storage speeds. Today, Seagate announced two new offerings.

You can pick up a 512GB version for $139.99 and for even more space, a 2TB version will be available for $399.99. That's more than double the internal storage capacity of an Xbox Series X when you factor in the operating system takes up some room on the internal M.2 NVMe. Of course you don't HAVE to use the drive on the newer games if you don't want to, but if you're still playing older Xbox One games that don't need the faster drive, I highly suggest you get one of the slower internal drives to use.

Pre-orders are up now for a release next month. I'm happy to see the new size variants become available to give consumers more choices. I'm about out of room on my internal so that 2TB is looking like one I'm really considering when it gets released.
