Unlike the One S, though, it comes with a super-fast NVMe SSD instead of an achingly slow mechanical hard drive, and it can be expanded with the 1TB Storage Expansion Card from Seagate. One important thing to note is that there’s no disk drive on the Xbox Series S, and you’ll only have 512GB of storage to play with. That’s less than the 16GB the Xbox Series X, but it’s considerably more than the Xbox One S, which only has 8GB of GDDR3. Though its GPU is considerably less powerful than the Xbox Series X's, it boasts an almost identical CPU and 10GB of GDDR6 RAM. The console targets a resolution of 1440p instead of native 4K (though some titles can output at a full 4K), and is capable of 120fps gaming. The Xbox Series S might be tiny, but there’s a lot of power inside. CPU: Eight-core 3.6GHz (3.4GHz with SMT) custom AMD 7nm.

However, these were HDDs, so not as fast as the Xbox Series S's slick 512GB NVMe solid state drive. When it launched, the Xbox One S was available in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB varieties.
