Possible.

But 8 GB is quite large. I would understand it if the Xbox One had a swappable HDD, but as it is I 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).

Actually, you actually can not take the hard drive out by design of the Xbox One.

You could be right, but wouldn't that burn it out rather quickly?  I was also thinking it could be part of the game DVR feature - but the PS4 has a similar feature and doesn't use it.

I was thinking one could put the OS on there for speed.  But we really have to know how it is being accessed and thus the speed.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
