Possible. But 8 GB is quite large. I would understand it if the Xbox One had a swappable HDD, but as it is a see no real reason to store such a large part of the OS on flash. At the moment I would guess that the 8GB are used to copy the entire RAM to it when the console goes into standby (this doesn't have to be instantaneous, but can take some minutes in the background). |
I think they just went with 8 GB to future proof the console. No need to copy the RAM as long as the system is in stand-by. The RAM doesn't need much power to keep whatever is saved atm. It works that way on laptops too.
