Yesterday, keen trackers of brand-new Xbox accessories stumbled upon the first-ever 4 TB Storage Expansion Card—courtesy of Seagate. Prior to a fresh discovery of the (now inactive) listing on Best Buy, Xbox Series X|S owners were only able to select 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB options (produced by Seagate and WD). Since launching back in 2020, Microsoft's proprietary SDD design remains a controversial prospect—mostly due to high prices, associated with the utilization of a CFExpress standard. In comparison, Sony's rival current-gen consoles—the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro—can be user upgraded with relatively reasonably-priced standard-sized internal M.2 SSDs (depending on specs). The Xbox Series Expansion Card requires less "tech expertise," since it is simply inserted into a special rear port.

Before the scrubbing of Best Buy's prematurely published product page, gaming news outlets focused on a $429.99 cost of ownership. It is unclear whether eager customers have secured first batches of stock, but Microsoft and Seagate (its official storage provider partner) have not issued any press material regarding the leaked 4 TB flagship model. Curiously, Best Buy's brief sale included a special launch discount. According to screen captures, the normal MSRP would be $499.99. Seagate's 2 TB SKU is currently on offer: $219.99 (instead of $259.99), while the WD BLACK C50 2 TB card sports a full price tag of $299.99. Naturally, better value is offered by (USB-connected) external solutions. As of early 2025, hardcore storage enthusiasts can link up 16+ TB storage devices to Microsoft's Xbox Series X and S machines. Industry experts believe that Seagate's 4 TB Storage Expansion Card will be introduced during this weekend's (Sunday, June 8) Xbox Games Showcase.

Researchers at Fudan University have made a significant advancement in integrated circuit technology. The team led by Zhou Peng and Liu Chunsen has developed "PoX," a picosecond flash memory device that operates at unprecedented speeds. The team predicted a phenomenon called "super-injection" by creating a quasi-2D Poisson model, which surpasses existing theoretical limits on memory speed. Their device achieves read/write speeds of 400 picoseconds (less than one nanosecond), equaling approximately 2.5 billion operations per second and making it the world's fastest semiconductor charge memory technology. "This is like the device can work one billion times in the blink of an eye, while a U disk (a hard drive in USB form) can only work 1,000 times. The previous world record for similar technology was two million," said Zhou Peng, a researcher from Fudan University's State Key Laboratory of Integrated Chips and Systems and a leading scientist on the research team.

Traditional flash memory requires electrons to "warm up" and accelerate along a channel before being captured for storage, a process limited by the long acceleration distance and electric field constraints. The new approach includes Dirac energy band structure, ballistic transport properties of two-dimensional materials, and modulation for the Gaussian length of the 2D channel. This allows electrons to reach very high speeds immediately without any 'run-up' period. Once fully developed, it can completely revolutionize the computer architecture by making memory and storage components unnecessary, obviating the need for hierarchical storage and allowing for large AI models to be deployed locally. Within 3 -5 years, the researchers plan to scale integration to tens of megabits, after which the technology will be made available for licensing to industry. The research was published as 'Subnanosecond flash memory enabled by 2D-enhanced hot-carrier injection' in the journal Nature 641, 90-97 (2025).

Up until very recently, the microSD Express format was viewed as a commercial disappointment for involved manufacturers and suppliers. Potential buyers were not attracted to premium price points; as demanded by designs that can leverage (up to) 900 MB/s read speeds. Hermitage Akihabara—a Japanese electronics and computer hardware chain—has tracked an alarmingly sharp climb in demand for microSD Express products. The popular retailer documented this recent trend across several articles, with last week's investigation diving deep into units selling: "at a rate of 337.62 cards per hour!" The upcoming launch of a highly-anticipated mainstream gaming device has seemingly sharply driven up sales of a largely forgotten storage format. Hermitage Akihabara explored this unprecedented turnaround in fortunes: "Nintendo's influence is amazing. The 'microSD Express card,' which had hardly any sales due to lack of use, sold out in an instant as soon as it was announced that it would be used in the Nintendo Switch 2. It was sold out not only in (our) Akihabara shops but also on EC sites nationwide, and it caused such a stir that it was even covered in the general news."

Hermitage Akihabara expects to replenish its stock within a non-specific timeframe—but prices could remain "quite high," due to manufacturers (reportedly) being fairly conservative with production output. The store's "behind the scenes of the microSD Express card sellout" news piece outlined some compelling data points: "our mail order service received a large number of orders. According to the calculations made by the mail order staff, they were selling at a rate of 5.63 units per minute, or 337.62 units per hour, which was also a surprise. Of course, we didn't have that much stock, but it seems that we were selling as much as we had. One interesting thing is that most of the buyers ordered only one copy. At most, three copies were purchased, and more than 80% of people ordered one copy. Most of the buyers were pure users who wanted to save one to use with the Switch 2." As reported earlier in the month, Lexar has readied the world's first 1 TB microSD Express card. Their $199.99 (MSRP) 1 TB PLAY PRO microSDXC Express model is already available to purchase, months in advance of Switch 2's global launch date (June 5). Industry insiders believe that Samsung is collaborating with Nintendo on an "official" range of microSD Express cards.
