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.
Thanks for the info, but I have to imagine that even usb 3.0 would be slower than internal Sata connections, but I could be wrong.
