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.

Isn't 3.0 a 5Gb/s connection on paper while the Sata is a 6Gb/s connection on paper?

I am assuming the One is a 6Gb/s connection internally as I haven't really read into the tech specs of it.
