You can find more pictures of the teardown here, along with descriptions of what some of the pieces that make up an Xbox One actually are. For now, it's worth noting that the console features a 2.5 inch SATA II drive—while replacing that means voiding the warranty, there's no telling if the Xbox One will even recognize replacement drives. Additionally, the One has a "beefy cooling system," according to iFixit, which should assuage fears of potential problems like the Red Ring of Death.
