Another question I often get about Xbox is, when will Microsoft expand its list of
best SSDs for Xbox Series X and Series S beyond the exclusive deal it has with Seagate?
Right now, the only internal storage SSD you can get for Xbox is the expensive CFExpress
Seagate Xbox SSD card. And while it's very good, and very convenient, the lack of competition is probably allowing Seagate to dictate the price at a premium.
Perhaps we'll see that exclusivity end in November 2021, giving Seagate a year of exclusivity. After that, it remains to be seen who, if anyone, steps up to offer a cheaper alternative.
