How to Increase Xbox One Storage using External Hard Drive

Hi, this video shows you how to increase your storage space for Games & Apps on your Xbox One & Xbox One S consoles by using an External USB Hard Drive.
It also shows you how to play the games from your external Hard Drive on another Xbox One.
You will need to get a USB 3.0 Hard Drive with at least 256 GB. The one shown in the video is Seagate 1TB (1000GB)which has more than twice the storage of the Xbox One 500GB as you do not have the whole 500GB for games & apps because the operating system takes up space. You can get the official Xbox external hard drive which is 2TB but the inside still uses the Seagate 2TB HDD which you can normally buy for around £15 less.
Many thanks Vince
