This is the first major console I haven't bought since...Gamecube, I think. Someone should play the old KOTOR game and tell me how it looks. :)

With XBox One S you could get fast improvements in loading times by using an external drive

It all depends on the drive of course, and there are no tests yet how fast the internal drive is in the X. But since the S already makes good use of a faster drive it would seem logical that using an external SSD to icopy the game you're playing on will help a lot.

The Xbox one X has a 7200rpm drive confirmed tough, right? that would at least make it the fastest stock drive. Obviously a SSD is always much faster.

Apparently it does not

The interface is faster, cpu as well, so loading times are decreased just as on the pro with an 5400 rpm drive. A good external drive will still be better.

128MB cache is the only improvement over the S then, so yeah, 7200rpm or hybrid or ssd should increase performance, strange I wonder who spread that 7200rpm rumour lol

Watch a video on it myself just before release as I was curious also, Internals provided a big boost over the S but the internal of the X seems to be basically the same as using an external HDD.
Vid below compared S/X and externals but for the X Internal vs Externals specifically it's at 4:35.

That's very promising and he only used two slow 5400 rpm external drives. With a 7200 rpm sshd drive results should be even better.
Sadly I couldn't get mine (low on money)
I might get one closer to Christmas though or I might just buy a One S because I really need a new Xbox.
Ext SSD drive preformance is not worth the cost. It's negligible on the x. Not enough to justify the cost.

I considered getting one. I'm glad I didn't. Thanks for taking one for the team.
