Least you can have external hard drives at launch unlike another console...


I'll pick a higher speed internal any day of the week. if you put games on an external drive, it would take FOREVER to load.  You also can't with either console...

But its USB 3.0? Usb 3.0 speeds can reach upto 5 Gbps vs Sata can reach upto 6Gbps so the difference should be minimal since mechincal drives cant even get close to the transfer speeds of either of those

First of all, I'm pretty sure that the xbone uses sata II, which would be 3gb/s. Second, it's not that simple. A lot of SSD/HDD's have a higher data transfer rate in SATA III than SATAII. Also, I'm pretty sure the xbox one doesn't even support external drives yet either. And I'm pretty sure external drives can only store music and movies. So yeah, I'd rather be able to replace my HDD, which MS was to lazy to do with the xbone.
