Yes, you can use an external hard drive, but remember, you can't play Series X/S optimized games directly from it. You gotta transfer those to the internal SSD first.
Sure thing! I've got a 2TB external hard drive plugged into my Series S and it works like a charm. Great for storing all those Game Pass downloads!
TBH, internal SSD is faster and better for Series S games. External drives are okay for older titles and backups.
