The Xbox Series X mystery port seen (and described) on the back of the console is allegedly for expanded storage via CFexpress card, a new report suggests.
Thurrott reports that the small, rectangular slot seen alongside a power cord port, two USB 3.0 ports, a digital audio port and HDMI out port is actually for a CompactFlash Express (CFexpress) card, a next-gen CF card capable of 1750MB/s read and 1400MB/s write speeds. We’ve highlighted the port in question in the image above.
CFexpress cards are very pricey at the moment — in Australia, we’ve spotted 64GB cards for $280 AUD or 128GB cards for $325 AUD; in America, a 512GB card goes for around $600 USD. Thurrott acknowledges the pricing but speculates that we’ll see CFexpress card costs drop in the leadup to the Xbox Series X launch, making them more affordable and, in turn, more appealing.
