While it may have been very interesting to know about the Xbox Series X's final specifications, the recent way it was presented at the 2019 Game Awards has aroused much interest. That model is an icon of what the next generation of consoles stands for, from the Xbox Series X cubic prototype. After the initial conflict with the ports identified by AMD, a “real” model was introduced in the dock docks. In this case, it appeared that there was an unknown slot for what it was, and it was thought to be a devkit-related thing. Now, it seems, the mysterious slot of the Xbox Series X could be to increase storage.
And it is not a theory that has been discovered lately, but there are no such clues as that Windows Central. As stated in the article, the mysterious slot of the Xbox Series X it would be to increase Xbox Series X storage. Far from the original ideas, pointing out the possibility slot for NMVe SSD, trying to relate to a less widespread storage system, CFExpress Cards. An idea from within Brad Sams, which explains the meaning of that slot seems to have a new meaning.
Cards CFExpress They are a solution to maximize storage based on the same pen drive technology, used in SSDs. It is not widely available, and is not widely used on other devices. Based on information from a commonly used manufacturer, such as Sandisk, it can be seen that there are up to three types of CFExpress Cards. Using technology NVMe 1.3, up to 4GB / s speed of transmission, at least, theoretically.
As we mentioned, they are not very well known and are not very wide. So, at present, their prices are very high. They are a fantastic solution to increase storage capacity, but we take care of the prices stores like Amazon, we got that 128Gb exceeds € 270.
So with all this, even though this method is possible for a mysterious slot of Xbox Series X it may have an explanation, it may not seem to be a better solution than the standard USB HDD. If that would provide a higher speed, rendering the application is intended to load times Xbox Series X, but at a price, these days, it's prohibitive. In addition, we should wait for Microsoft to produce a model to market, since it would be a case that this slot would have been a defining feature for devkit, not the model sold for users by the end of 2020.
