"The small form factor SSDs that Microsoft manufactures with Seagate for the Xbox Series X and S aren't proprietary, instead using a format that has been used with digital cameras for some time."
"The adaptor in question plugs into one of your PCI-e ports on your motherboard, and gives you a slot that fits the Xbox expansion card."
"The speeds aren't fantastic, thanks to the limited bandwidth of the adapter, but it's still drastically faster than a SATA hard drive and should be perfect for normal gaming use."
"It's a much cheaper way to add at least 1TB of storage to your PC if you do have one, which might help you store a whole library of new games now that Xbox Game Pass has become cheaper."
The rising costs of SSDs due to the AI boom have made repurposing existing hardware essential. Xbox storage expansion cards, which are CF Express Memory Cards, can be adapted for PC use. A specific adapter allows these cards to connect via PCI-e ports, providing faster storage than traditional SATA hard drives. This method is particularly beneficial for those who already own an Xbox expansion card, offering a cheaper way to increase PC storage capacity, especially with the affordability of Xbox Game Pass.
