Not sure why it would matter. Anyone can pull the hard drive out of the console, it isn’t like it is non standard to begin with 😀

You can even image and replace the hdd in the X1 now with an SSD using any computer.

Don’t hold your breath that it will support anything involving game installs, playing games off of the HDD or be anything less than once it’s formatted for the Xbox One NOTHING else will be able to read or even see that drive….That would just be completely retarded and they know it would welcome piracy….So enjoy

Will be curious to see if External SSD Drives on USB3 will load games faster than the built in HDD. I don’t really need any additional storage space, but if it improves load times I might go for that option.

looking forward. sounds like pure gold to me.
I have a 3TB external HDD USB 3 enabled just itching to be used.
what I really hope for is that at least 90% of had drives are supported and that we can have semi-unlimited to unlimited storage….as in hook up the xbox one to a NAS
