Installing an external hard drive on Xbox One is very simple: Connect the hard drive to the console via any of the USB ports on the console. For the first time, the Xbox will offer to format the hard drive for use as a media storage device (to capture video, store photos, etc.), or to use it as a storage device for your games.
