Xbox One accessory adds HDD case, USB ports by attaching to console
Collective Minds' "Xbox One USB Hub and Hard Drive Enclosure" adds three USB 3.0 ports as well as a bay for a 2.5-inch hard drive in an add-on that attaches directly to the left side of the console. An owner of the accessory simply has to buy an appropriate 2.5-inch SATA hard drive, install rails to its sides, slide it into the accessory's bay (hidden by a removable cover) and attach it to the console for more storage space.
According to a product manual for the add-on, SSD, hybrid and standard internal 2.5-inch SATA drives are all supported, though they must be at least 256GB (Microsoft's requirement for games to be installed on an Xbox One drive). A listing for the accessory on Amazon states the add-on is temporarily out of stock, and it lacks any reviews.
External hard drives can actually improve load times on the Xbox One, as they can feature better data rates than the onboard 5,400 rpm hard drive. Though drives installed in Collective Minds' add-on require a SATA connection, the accessory itself is still connected via the USB 3.0 port on the left side of the console.

Wish they had another option to fit a 3.5 hard drive. Would Love just to add a 6tb and not worry about storage for a while. Always hated the look Of having external drives on top of or next to the console

This is a neat idea, but I think it'd be more cost effective to find a drive enclosure that supports USB 3.0 and an HDD to go inside then just use an existing USB port.

This looks really cool and would benefit me as the USB ports are to the back or side which bends my charging wire and they aren't made great so they get faulty easily
