SSD
If you’ve got a fairly modern PC or laptop, chances are it may well have a Solid State Drive (SSD) inside it. These are basically flash drives with massive storage and ridiculous read/write speeds. It also has no moving parts, making the SSD far more reliable than your standard hard drive which has a needle moving at incredibly high speeds.
Integrating an SSD into the Xbox Series X has already been confirmed, and we’ve been told this, combined with GDDR6 RAM will result in near non-existent load times, or at least they’ll be drastically reduced.
The good news is that the price of SSD’s has dropped considerably over the past couple of year. In fact, they’ve dropped so low you can now pick up a 1TB SSD for under $100.
Right now, we’re not entirely sure how big the SSD will be inside of an Xbox Series X, but 1TB seems like a safe bet. With the ever-increasing install size of video games nowadays, anything less than that would likely fill up far too quickly.
