Strange that they've touted better load times but are still only using sata2 interface.

There are no consumer HDDs that can max out sata2, and even if there was it would only be for very large linear transfers; as soon as you need to seek in any way, transfer rate would crash through the floor (because mechanics are ssllooww... )

World of Tanks developer has offered his thoughts on the Xbox One X CPU and said that 4k resolution barely has impact in the Xbox One X CPU, only in the GPU, and that the CPU is a good fit for the GPU in that sense with the increase of just the needed power.
