Considering Replacing My Xbox One Hard Drive

(Video above is relevant in the second paragraph) November 2016 is approaching and than means my 3 year warranty is about to expire, thus opening the door to freely crack open and clean my console without fear of voiding Microsoft doctrine. I've been planning on replacing the internal drive for some time now, from 500 gigs to a solid 2000. The only concern now is how to go about doing this. Let me start by saying no. I don't want an external drive that will just sit on or near my Xbone, connected via a USB 2.0 and cable. That's where this product comes in: in the video above, a reviewer goes over an extension of the Xbox one console that takes 2.5" HDDs and uses them externally. Not only that but it secures safely to the console and provides you with three USB 3.0 ports on the front. It also blends with the design of the console, keeping the external drive in an easily accessible location. The other option involves purchasing the drive on its own and manually formatting it to run on the console. This means taking the existing drive out and using Linux to set up the new drive. It involves more work but less of a cost. The Collective Minds product & Samsung HDD ring in at around $150 on Amazon, whereas the HDD alone is only $101. I'm willing to admit, I'm not the most tech savvy person on these forums, but there exist step by step guides on both of these methods that any person could follow. So I'll give you guys the floor, what's your two cents? Is one option more preferable? Please, do tell. TL;DR: Tucker has little storage space, Tucker wants storage space, storage space costs money, tell Tucker what you think.
