Series X/S replacing internal m.2 for a bigger capacity?

[punkyard]

is it possible to swap series S internal m.2 SSD with a bigger one with the same physical connectors and size?

 

the price in the official licensed Seagate storage expansion ssd is ridiculously high.

Not easily, no. The drives use CFexpress, are in special enclosures, and are partitioned in a specific way that would be hard to replicate. You could use a USB SSD for extra storage, though you would lose some performance due to bandwidth limitations.

Read up on this. In short, you can use a USB HDD/SSD to store games, but you can't play them off that drive, you'll have to swap games back and forth when you want to play them. The Seagate expansion will let you play and store games, but it's hugely more expensive, as you said.

You do not want to swap out the original drive do to reasons list above plus the fact that only the original hardware can handle the X/S optimized games, which would defeat the purpose of the new system.  The best solution I have found is I got a 2TB ssd and put it in enclosure with usb 3.0. It is not as fast as the external with special architecture but its a very close second. All of my X/S optimized games go to internal and all the non optimized games go to the external.

I knew this was gonna be an issue when I saw it. The seagate drive is a rip off too
