I'm guessing there are USB ports on the dock so one could assume that there might be external USB hard drive support like the Wii U has.

There are USB ports on the dock. 

There is no HDD support according to LPVG. 

There would likely be HDD corruption/read problems if/when people started just taking the system off the dock as the game was accessing a HDD too. 

Not that it replaces a HDD, but maybe for people who want to be more digital only perhaps Nintendo could give them the option of using the cartridge slot as a secondary SD Card port. That way you could have two SD Cards in the system instead of one, that could be an OK way to double+ your storage space if you don't like buying physical games. 

It doesn't replace a HDD but it's better than nothing. 

That's literally what Pyro as Bill was suggesting when he said the bit about 512GB game cards. It's basically propietary memory and there's no way they'd get it cheap enough.
