How to Install The New WD_BLACK™ C50 Expansion Card for Xbox™ 

True, although these prices are way more respectable than the other options prices.

@@evanshireman5644 Xbox Seagate cost 200+bucks for it lol 😂

​@@Ryanlexz No Seagate lowered their prices when they heard these are coming.

@@marky3609 nice! Finally

@@Ryanlexz Yea it's about time. I'm hoping someone makes a 4TB card

😂😂😂

Are you trolling us? If not, please let me know how we can help answer any questions :)

@@WDBlack Maybe just a smidge. 😁 But in all seriousness, I do like the choices this brings Xbox gamers and the lower prices.

​@@WDBlack I would like to know what exactly happens when you plug the drive in. You should show the screen and the actual process of adding games to it. Just a suggestion.

There is never enough storage!

​@@WDBlack then please make a C50 with 2TB or more and I'll be more than happy to buy. 1TB is too small nowdays.

​@@WDBlack You guys should do a 4TB varient. I already purchased the 2TB Seagate card but would gladly buy a 4TB card.

​@WDBlack when will a 4 and 6tb card be available? 1Tb is nowhere near enough

Thanks for the feedback! Going to send it on through!

Proprietary means it will not come down in price nor be released with a reasonable price tag in the first place

It’s going to be minimum 300 since the 1tb cost 149.99 so i don’t think it will be 250

If they believe they can find enough fools willing to pay almost $1k on 4tb because "proprietary" I'm sure it will follow

We absolutely see the need to see this. Hell, I want to see it myself! But for now, we are happy to FINALLY offer an expansion card for the Xbox Series X | S

You mean, still having the console turned on and plugging it in? I would still suggest turning off the console, plug it in and then turn it on again.

Did you ever get an answer? I'm in the same boat...

@@valenlevalenle6394 nop

Yes, correct. Our external drives for Xbox only allow for the Xbox 1 and older games to be played and archived. In order to play the Xbox Series X | S, you would need our new expansion card. It comes down to the speed of the drive.

@@WDBlack ok, this helped a lot thx for the info!

@@lst1409bonjour, as-tu acheté la carte présenté dans la vidéo? si oui permet t’elle de jouer aux jeux optimisés pour Xbox Série X?

⁠@@pikachu857sorry for the late response, yes I bought the card and it does work

They just came out with a 2TB SSD 2230, but it doesn't have the Xbox adapter. It is for Steam Deck.

Just insert it into the usb slut

Well...you know. Just in case :)

🤣 Sure. Step 1) You work. Step 2) You save your money. Step 3) You purchase the product.... and so on.

Yeah for the the 500gb one, mayaswell spend extra 50 and get 1tb. Or better yet dont buy one yet and wait for greedy companys to lower their prices.

Our extensive review is coming soon 🤣

We are doing heaven's work here. I'm glad you were able to learn from it so you don't make this crucial mistake 🤣

​@@WDBlack i see what you did there... It's very "😉crucial"

🫡

Expect to pay almost 1k on the 4tb just because its "proprietary"

@@bamban_garcia5562 I know. Microsoft really got that one wrong. They should have went with the PC standard and had a hatch to hide an M.2 or NVME drive.

@@wwjnz9263 Considering you can get a 4tb PlayStation 5 ssd for about half the price of a $399.99 2tb Seagate box series ssd I say yeah going proprietary really was a stupid decision

150 I highly doubt but it would be a wet dream

We generally keep to ourselves on something like this. Happy to be part of the Xbox Series X|S family!

@@WDBlack Any idea what the card read / write iops are ? I couldn't find it on the data sheet

​@@WDBlack Can you please share which is better with us in this comment section?

same im also confused. im thinking of getting expansion card over external hdd/ssd as all the new releases are gonna be series s/x optimized. i have series s so with 360gb internal storage i don't think ill be able to play any other game alongside starfield and motorsport after their release unless i get the expansion card

I used to use a 4tb on my Xbox ss, I moved games that I didn't play, now, I just bought this WD c50, and that's the best of the best, it's a pleasure to play all my new generation games on my ssd

@@BettTheKillerget the expansion card. External spinning drives don't work for newer games. They're just too slow.

Don't waste your money. I purchased the external and I can't play any games. Moving games around is a hassle especially if you have 2 big games you want to play on and off at the same time. All the games I play, Witcher 3, Hogwarts Legacy, Mass Effect Legendary edition, Cyberpunk, Dying Light 2, need to be played either on internal storage of you need an expansion card. Not sure about this one though and whether I can still play games that I move over but the other one is useless essentially. You're better of just saving and paying the extra money.@@BettTheKiller

I'm in the exact same boat as you. The only games I have on my Series S is Halo Infinite and Modern Warfare III. That's all I can fit on there.@@BettTheKiller

Go with Wd cause Seagate been robbing everyone for years.

It's out right now. WDBlack.com :)

Should be available now :) www.westerndigital.com/en-gb/products/external-drives/wd-black-c50-expansion-card-for-xbox-ssd#WDBMPH5120ANC-WCSN

@@WDBlack thanks for the responds

Still no lol

That can get you a 2tb ssd on PlayStation 5

@@bamban_garcia5562 No portability for the PS5. Xbox you can move it around to other systems.

@@mantid83 I mean you can play your PlayStation 5 library on someone else's console as long as you log into your account to share, you do not really need to carry the internal ssd with you

@@bamban_garcia5562 It can take very long to download games. With Xbox, you can easily hold games on the SSD drive and move them around to other systems.

We still need 4 and 6 tb versions. 1 TB is nowhere near enough for all these games

yes

Word!

omfg i was so angry it wouldnt work and didnt know it went in more!!! thank u so much man

I would still recommend turning it off.
