Can I expand the storage on an Xbox Series X?

Yes. The Xbox Series X has a rear expansion slot that takes proprietary storage expansion cards, which run current-generation games directly. You can also attach a standard USB external drive, but that is only suitable for storing Series X|S games and playing older backward-compatible titles, not running new-gen games. Expansion cards are sold separately from the console.

Is the Xbox Series X or Series S the better buy?

The Series X is the more powerful console, targets 4K, and includes a disc drive and a larger internal SSD; the Series S is smaller, cheaper, digital-only, and aimed at 1080p/1440p play. If you own physical games or a 4K TV, the Series X makes more sense. Both play the same library, so the choice is really about resolution, storage and discs.

Does the Xbox Series X have a disc drive?

Yes, the Xbox Series X ships with an optical disc drive, which is the main hardware difference from the all-digital Series S and from digital-only Series X variants. The drive matters if you want to play physical games, use disc-based backward compatibility, or buy and resell used games. Check the specific listing carefully, since digital editions of the Series X also exist.
