Xbox One External harddrive and etc.

Since about a month ago my Xbox One has been having many issues. First it started freezing all the time, then games wouldn't launch. The Xbox sometimes doesn't turn on when I press the button only makes a noise no light up. Then when I turn it off, I simply
can't and have to hold the power button to turn it off? I then noticed if I unplug my Seagate External hard drive my Xbox One runs regular speed instantly and has no issues. No messages pop up telling me of any error or code while this is happening either.
I was told by GameStop this hard drive is compatible and recommended with the Xbox so I don't think it's the problem. Any solutions please?

Is there a way to save DVR clips to external hard drive?

If you have an external hardrive pluged in to your xbox one the system will then take the xbox ones main harddrive and use it for a backup for when your external harddrive becomes full. As far as takeing games and apps from the xbox one harddrive to an external
yes that can be done by going to the setting and goto system setting and click on manage storage and select your system storage

 

Have you tried changing the hdd?

If external harddrive will eventually be supported then I'll wait and see how it goes. I just hope that the update will be released before the harddrive is full and I have to start deleting stuff off of it. From the video, it seems that the Xbox One and PS4 work the same way I don't get why Microsoft don't let people swap out the harddrive.
