So not identical to PS5 on that front. source: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-xbox-series-x-architecture-deep-dive the expansion card is also only 2x PCIe gen4 source: https://www.hardwaretimes.com/xbox-series-x-storage-expansion-will-use-pcie-4-0-x2-seagate-reveals/ https://www.seagate.com/au/en/consumer/play/storage-expansion-for-xbox-series-x/ |
Wouldn't it be a waste to use 4x PCIe gen4 for the use case scenario?
2x PCIe gen4 already can handle ~4 GB/s and the maximal transfer is 2.4 GB/s.
It would even allow ~50% faster SSDs in later Xbox Series revisions or in later Seagate-Xbox-expansion SSDs (f. e. 3.6 GB/s uncompressed data)
