Insider revealed the true purpose of the mysterious port on the Xbox Series X non-x-ray console

A few weeks ago, a photograph of the rear panel of a pre-production sample appeared on the network Xbox Series X. Then the site editor Thurrott Brad Samsconfirming the authenticity of the image, said that the long rectangular port located between the HDMI connector and the optical port for audio output is intended for console diagnostics.

However, today Sams said that his version was erroneous.. But new information from people familiar with Microsoft’s plans indicates that the mysterious slot on the back of the Xbox Series X will actually be used to expand the internal memory. The format of the external drive is still unknown, but given that a high-speed will be installed inside the console SSD, the source of additional storage in any case should be as fast. One of the possible options the journalist sees the use of CFExpress. Depending on the type, such cards are capable of providing data transfer speeds of more than 1 GB per second, but their main minus is the price. Now CFExpress card on 512 GB worth order 600 dollars.

In this regard, Sams came to the conclusion that Microsoft either relies on the fact that during the life cycle of the Xbox Series X technology will drop significantly in price, or the company’s engineers have found a way to use this port with other drives.
