    No, sorry. Xbox require an internal drive to function.

    Xbox One External USB 3.0, 7,200, 1TB HDD

    The OS stays on the internal HDD. You can set the Xbox One to install games to the external storage device by default. You can also move all your stuff over to the external drive.

    Hi there, Jajopoole

    Due to the size of the games you have installed will depend on how many can be stored on the xbox's HDD (Hard Disk Drive) it would be recommended you purchase xbox external HDD which will allow you to install your games externally instead of internally leaving
    more space available for big update files and games alike.

    Kind Regards

    Xbox One external hard drive question.

    Hello everyone :)

    I am really glad that you won't have to re-install games if your Xbox One goes bad :)

    I am going to have to transfer all of my installed game stuff to my External HDD when I eventually get it :)

    Can I transfer the stuff from the Xbox One HDD to the External HDD without having to delete the game and re-install it to the External HDD?

    Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone :)
