why even bother with a 512? CoD alone could fill that up

Wait, the 1TB has been $219 forever. Is this a typo or a price increase on something already on the higher end for a 1TB PCIe drive?

It's probably expected to sell primarily to Series S owners, who only have 512GB from the internal SSD.

Another consideration is that thanks to the external slot and hot swappable cards, an Xbox Series X/S owner can have as many cards as they see fit, including ones dedicated to single massive games. Expensive but the price can be expected to improve over the lifespan of the consoles. Particularly after Seagate is no longer the sole vendor of these items, which should be coming early next year.
