At least there is external support planned for the non-upgradable One. But I wonder what capacity the One recognizes for the external drives? If memory serves, the 360 could only recognize and utilize up to 32GB regardless of the drive's actual capacity. I hope that isn't the case with the Xbox One's operating system(s).

Honestly I worried the Xbox One would treat external storage like it did this generation on the Xbox 360---i.e. properly-formatted thumb drives or limited-capacity USB storage with restrictions on what files could be saved where. (I lost all of my Oblivion and Mass Effect 1/2 data because they stubbornly refused to copy to a thumb drive. That might have been a publisher restriction, though.)
The 360 is only USB 2.0 support though right?
With this next generation being 3.0 and the downloads and installation of game I see the capacity being much greater. I do still see that you have to format the device, but with the capability of larger drives I don't see that being a huge problem.
