Quick Question: X box additional memory

Roger Hassenforder · 2018-08-25 11:35:53

is it as simple as sticking a USB-3 portable HD in the back, and formatting it for additional storage? Any un-foreseen pitfalls? Cheers Edit: its an Xbox 1S

Bought a Seagate 2TB portable drive in PC world for €79 (€20 off) inc. 1 month GamePass.
Basically plug and play with a 3 sec format phase

Now to download Witcher 3...
