Xbox One To Get External Game Storage

I'm a PS4er, but I'm hopeful that with Xbox announcing this, they won't be far behind:
External Game Storage
Doesn't state if you can do more than just game storage on the external, but I would imagine if the USB drive has functionality that you could export music/videos to your system from said hard drive.
I just want Sounds of the Show for The Show and soon

Considering you could save entire games on an external drive on the 360, I don't expect them to take a step back.
I am just hoping we don't have to buy a certain official Xbox external hard drive, so I can go find a cheap 1TB hard drive to plug in.

MS made consumers buy those proprietary internal hard drives but you can't control external storage the same way. I do expect a GB limit though.

Yeah this is more likely.

I am kind of shocked that Sony didn't do that for the PS3 and PS4. Sony has historically been the king of doing proprietary stuff.

Sony went internal first, which I personally like better than external.
With external coming later.
I have a 1TB HSSD in my PS4.

I find my PS4 to be pretty fast on the boot up and loading. Is the difference noticeable.

It boots up about 3-4 seconds faster.

The results indicate that a hybrid SSHD drive can deliver many of the benefits of a traditional SSD but at a considerably lower cost. Although the SSD offered the best speeds in most cases, the SSHD only fell a few seconds shy of its scores, but both offer notably speed increases over the stock drive.
It's important to note that when it comes to disc-based game installs and boot-up times, all of the storage solutions are bottlenecked by the speed of the disc drive, whereas level loads and overall system boot-up time see significant gains from a SSD or SSHD. Games purchased through the PSN and stored entirely on local storage, like Resogun, see performance gains across the board.

The hard drive option will give users extra storage for saving games, downloadable content expansions and apps. The system will support up to two drives at once, treating them as the default destination for downloaded content. Drives will need to be at least 256GB and support USB 3.0 connections. Games can boot off the drive, and the drives don't need to have their own power supply.
