Modders have upgraded Xbox One's hard drive but it's not for everyone
A modder named Brian Williams posted up a YouTube video on his blog today that shows the Xbox One with a 1TB hybrid drive from Samsung, along with a 500GB SSD, again from Samsung. Both of these drives cut the load times of "Call of Duty: Ghosts" by several seconds compared to the standard drive inside the console.
Putting in a new hard drive in the Xbox One is one thing, but getting the console to recognize that a drive has more storage space to work with is something else. A person who goes by the name "Juvenal1" has posted a way to let the Xbox One make use of a drive with bigger storage space on the GitHub website, via a Linux-based tool. Once again, this is for the advanced users so proceed at your own risk.
Microsoft has already announced it plans to update the Xbox One at some point to support external hard drives via its USB ports. The console currently does not allow users to view just how much free storage space is available, but Microsoft Xbox executive Albert Penello posted word recently on the NeoGAF message board that such a feature will be added when the external hard drive support is enabled.

daRealRush I think they should've made it upgradeable, because overtime, the Hard Drive will actually start to run low on Memory. So, it would've been nice if Microsoft made the Hard Drive upgradeable.
Maybe future models will come with upgraded storage space?

KatsumiMwah The HDD is big enough in my opinion...
It is big enough for now.. but overtime people are bound to fill it up
I feel like the games will also get bigger. Look at nba 2k14.. it's almost at 50gb! So I expect games to onlt rise and before we know ewch game will be 100gb to install.

It really depends on the amount of games you want/have.
