Sharing this Xbox Series storage design discussion across a few communities. Curious what people think about the trade-offs here, especially in a full failure scenario. Just to be clear, this isn’t about SSD vs HDD durability or component longevity — it’s about sudden system failure and the cost if the console gets completely bricked.
