A reliable expansion card for your Xbox console

Because it has been certified by Microsoft for use with their latest generation of consoles and utilizes the expansion port of the console, the C50 allows you to store and run your most recent generation games directly from the card at the same speeds they would be accessed from the internal SSD. Quick Resume also functions as expected, so you can continue to switch between paused and resumed games, even when the storage limits of the internal SSD have been reached. Unlike external USB-based storage devices that only let you archive your Xbox Series X/S titles, the WD Black C50 enables you to install your titles directly to the card and play them just like they were on the internal SSD.

Installing the WD Black C50 is easy and requires no complicated steps. Power down the console, then slide the card into the identified expansion port at the back of the console. Securely insert the card by pressing firmly into place until you hear it click securely into the port. Once the console is powered back on, it will automatically recognize the card and present the new storage capacity to the user for selection and installation of their desired titles.

The WD Black C50 is compact and industrial-looking, and is designed to fit seamlessly into the console’s design rather than appear as an external device attached via a USB port. Additionally, the size and lightweight nature of the WD Black C50 make it unobtrusive regardless of whether the console is positioned vertically or horizontally in a home entertainment system. Included with the WD Black C50 are the card itself, a protective cover for the card, and a short, easy-to-follow guide that outlines basic installation procedures.

At a discounted price of $150, versus the original MSRP of $200, the WD Black C50 provides plug-in storage capacity that operates at console-level speeds, allowing users to retain additional titles on their Xbox Series X/S consoles without degrading performance.
