Basically, we get to eat shit and like it. I'd like to think it doesn't matter too much, but it's still reassuring to know that our early adoption was rewarded with a pecker-slap to the face. We are never going to get this improved storage without buying an entirely new console.
External hard drives are a band-aid at best. They're a solution in the short term, but what are you going to do 8 years down the line when your internal hard drive will statistically fail? If the xbox one is still supported then you can spend money on service, but that's only delaying the issue. At some point, support is going to be dropped and your console is going to be worthless because the xbone OS is not available to the public. It's the same problem I have with the Wii U and its flash memory, though that should be working for longer than a hard drive will.
Thoughts?

Side of effect of getting the first generation of Xbox One's. Granted an External Harddrive performs better then the stock 500 drive anyway, don't know about the speed of the 1tb versions out now that are out now. External drives are the way to go this generation to be honest, especailly on the Xbox One considering how we can't exactly effectively take it apart and slap in a new one and considering neither console has extra space inside to support another internal harddrive. If theres ever another Xbox One that'll allow us to do that upgrade freely, I'm sure that would be a consideration if people are willing to upgrade, but as it stands External Drives are the way to go.
