  A Western Digital Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S consoles has recently appeared over at Best Buy. This card will be a bit expensive as it runs at a $179.99 price tag. Still, it also provides similar performance to the Xbox internal storage unit, allowing players to have the same experience while loading, playing, and saving their favorite games onto it. The WD_BLACK C50 Expansion Card for Xbox appears as a Sold Out item.

  Of course, we've never heard of the WD_BLACK C50 expansion card before. So, this could be considered a leak by Western Digital or Best Buy before the expansion card was even announced. The card is stated to have a capacity of 1TB and will let you easily increase the storage space of your Xbox Series X|S console. The card is also plug-and-play, allowing you to instantly access the drive when you plug it into the dedicated spot on the console.

  The WD_BLACK C50 card also boasts of having the same performance as the internal storage of the Xbox Series consoles. Leveraging the Xbox Velocity Architecture, this expansion card ensures a seamless experience when installing, loading, playing, and saving your favorite games. Because of this, the expansion card is also compatible with Quick Resume, allowing users to suspend their current game, play a different one, and then come back to the first game.

  According to the Best Buy listing, purchasing this card will give you the product and its Protective Cover alongside a Quick Install guide. The card uses a USB Type-C interface and has a small form factor, with 0.3x1.24 inches with a 0.9 ounces weight. The product is stated to have a 5-year warranty for parts and labor from the manufacturer. As mentioned before, the WD_BLACK C50 Expansion Card for Xbox has a $179.99 price tag, so it will be a bit pricey. However, it won't be as costly as Microsoft's own card which runs at a $219.99 price tag.

  Since this product was indeed leaked by the folks at Best Buy or Western Digital, it's only a matter of time before it shows up as an announcement by the latter and becomes available in other storefronts across the US and other regions. Still, if you're looking for a way to expand the storage of your Xbox Series console while retaining the ability to have features such as Quick Resume, this might be the perfect expansion card for you.
