However, it turns out you can replace the Xbox One’s hard drive, it’s just pretty difficult to do so.

The tech sadists over at iFixit got ahold of an Xbox One and promptly tore it to shreds. The team found that the box is made with standard off-the-shelf parts—most notably, the console uses a regular 2.5-inch SATA II hard drive. This means that if you found a great deal on a hard drive for your PS4, you can get another and use it for your Xbox One. The catch, though, is that it’s not even remotely easy to install it, as you have to do your best tech sadist impression and rip your box open.
