Western Digital unveiled their expansion card for Xbox Series X|S consoles that can add 500GB or 1TB of extra capacity to your console. They also revealed a new officially licensed 4TB NVMe SSD for PlayStation 5’s

The WD_BLACK C50 Expansion Card for Xbox will set you back $79.99 USD (approx $120 AUD) for 500GB or $149.99 USD (approx $225 AUD) for 1TB. There’s currently no official Australian pricing for the new Expansion Card, but there should not be any reason it does not launch here.

Similarly, the WD_BLACK SN850P NVMe doesn’t have an Australian release or official pricing yet. What it offers, however, with the 4TB card, is a massive amount of additional storage for PlayStation gamers. The USD pricing for the 4TB model is $549.99 (approx $824 AUD).

You can buy the 1TB and 2TB versions of the WD_BLACK SN850P from places like Amazon.
