Xbox One accessory adds HDD case, USB ports by attaching to console
Collective Minds' "Xbox One USB Hub and Hard Drive Enclosure" adds three USB 3.0 ports as well as a bay for a 2.5-inch hard drive in an add-on that attaches directly to the left side of the console. An owner of the accessory simply has to buy an appropriate 2.5-inch SATA hard drive, install rails to its sides, slide it into the accessory's bay (hidden by a removable cover) and attach it to the console for more storage space.
According to a product manual for the add-on, SSD, hybrid and standard internal 2.5-inch SATA drives are all supported, though they must be at least 256GB (Microsoft's requirement for games to be installed on an Xbox One drive). A listing for the accessory on Amazon states the add-on is temporarily out of stock, and it lacks any reviews.
External hard drives can actually improve load times on the Xbox One, as they can feature better data rates than the onboard 5,400 rpm hard drive. Though drives installed in Collective Minds' add-on require a SATA connection, the accessory itself is still connected via the USB 3.0 port on the left side of the console.

RinStonerzardearpZnait These HDD's will be marked up and overpriced. Meanwhile I just bought a 4TB HDD for 89 bucks and 256GB SSD for 180. Murica, pc mustard rice!
you can use any hdd or even ssd...
I've never understood why these manufacturers don't even make TB HDDs for consoles, it makes so much sense. Why should you only have 500GB, that's nothing in today's age. Also still don't understand why they don't allow third party hardware to be used, okay they lose a bit of money but they'd gain more money long term by letting third party hardware to be used.
Who knows what goes on at Microsoft. They have to stop being so stubborn sometimes.
Yeah they just need to make their consoles memory size bigger from the start
