SanDisk Optimus GX C50 Xbox Series X|S expansion cards hit Amazon starting at $249.99 for 1TB
↗
SanDisk's Optimus GX C50 expansion cards for the Xbox Series X|S are now available on Amazon, offering a second proprietary storage option alongside Seagate five years after the console's launch.
The Xbox Series X|S requires proprietary expansion cards to play games directly from external storage, limiting consumer choice and keeping prices high. SanDisk's entry provides a slight pricing alternative on Amazon, though an AI-driven memory shortage has inflated market prices for all available options.

SanDisk Optimus GX C50 expansion cards for Xbox Series X|S are available on Amazon with the 1TB variant priced at $249.99.
Seagate previously held a monopoly on these proprietary cards, but Amazon prices for its 1TB card have risen to at least $318 due to an AI-driven memory shortage.
Unlike Sony's PS5 and Nintendo's Switch 2, the Xbox Series X|S lacks a standard slot, forcing users to buy proprietary cards that only work with these specific consoles.
