SSD isn't really needed with consoles. They boot up fast enough from regular harddrives. A PC on the other hand can take forever to boot up. 

My Xbox One X might boot up fairly quickly on spinning rust... (Time is all relative.) However, it takes -forever- to load my games library off multiple 4 Terabyte external drives before I can start using anything.
My PC however... Boots up in mere seconds and is usable from the get-go.

 

I have a 2 TB Laptop hardrive in my PS4 Pro. Boots up almost instantly. I think your problem with the XB1X may be that you are using externals. But then again I don't own an XB1X so...
