| + | [* black] And now we get to the meat of this board sandwich—the aluminum center chassis. |
| + | [* black] Its main purpose is to soak up heat (hence the thermal paste for the SSD and storage expansion slot). |
| + | [* icon_note] All this focus on heat dissipation throughout the Xbox makes sense, all these high-performance chips generate a ton of heat. |
| [* black] The Xbox Series X uses an m.2 2230 NVMe SSD, namely a 1 TB CH SN530 by Western Digital. We heard it's super-fast PCIe Gen 4.0, too. Fancy! | |
| [* black] Let's take a closer look at bits that give this SSD it's oomph: | |
