Neat, is it like a software update or hardware like a chip at the base of the port...or is this implemented at/in the product/hardware itself?
I'm calling BS on a 1 TB SSD. That would cost as much as a console itself. I wouldn't be surprised to see a smaller SSD for booting etc coupled with a larger standard HD.
Late to the game, but offer is still at $43. Picked it upXbox Live Gold 41.99 USD via CDKeys

I wouldn't trust Bungie with Halo anymore. Hell, The story guys were Joseph Staten and Frank O'Connor, and they are both at Microsoft. 343i nailed the Halo gameplay evolution. Mission and level design are what they need to address. They also ned to direct the story and it's presentation into more interesting territory.Just invite bungie to make everything except story and missions for a new halo game and keep them in check so they don't greed it up like they did with destiny dlc. A match made in heaven.
Prices have dropped a lot lately, I mean it'd still be expensive, but it's not like 4 years ago expensive anymore which was absurd; I just bought one for $150 and there were other brands that were cheaper.
MS can make up for it elsewhere, so they can take a hit.I just don't think they'd do that, the cost increase would be significant for the part, $150 just for an SSD when they'd still need to include some other type of HDD because 1TB isn't enough next gen just doesn't seem realistic. The type of SSD they are talking about in the leak is currently $250 on amazon for a 1TB, no way that's happening, even in a year the price won't drop that much. Just for comparison the HDD that's included in the One X costs about $44.00 right now. Even the 250GB version of the SSD in that leak is about twice that at about $89.99
If the One X that came out in 2017 with an old cheap CPU and 12GB or RAM had to cost $500 what would a console in 2020 cost that has a much better more expensive CPU, more and better memory, a much better GPU and a storage solution that costs over 5 times what the one they currently use does (going by the 1TB in the "leak") it just seems unrealistic to expect a company to do that unless they are willing to lose hundreds of dollars at launch.

Crucial has 1TB NVMe SSD for $144. Those prices are definitely up simply because of the market and the newness of the tech and in two years I'd expect that price to be way down, though probably (definitely) not $50 range. Though we can safely assume it won't be 5x the price of the current HDD.
I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I'd be happy if it did, especially so in the Anaconda.
16 GB of memory and 12 teraflop gpu sounds about right but I'll eat Plainview's hat if non elite skus came with 1 TB SSDs.
Is a SSD really that much better/faster than say a 3.0 usb HDD or if ever a usb-c port?
