No, internal and external HDDs are the same. However going over USB 2.0 would be a hindrance versus internal SATA. The XB1 is equipped with USB 3.0 ports which have enough bandwidth that you wouldn't know the difference in terms of read and write speeds.

If you've been following the XB1 before and after its launch you would know Microsoft is actually receptive to criticism and willing to give the fans what they want. Major Nelson confirmed external HDD support will be supported later down the road.
