Make sure to back up any information you want to keep. Connect your compatible external drive to your Xbox through an available USB port.

Navigate to the Settings menu and select System , then select Storage. Select Configure Now and wait until you are given confirmation that your drive is now ready for use. The configured device will now be listed as a Memory Unit in the Storage menu. Storing new saved game data on your new Memory Unit is as simple as choosing the device from the available options when prompted by a game to select its storage location.

You can also install a game to your external drive by highlighting the game from the Home or My Games menu, pressing "X" to open the Game Details menu, selecting Install and finally selecting the Memory Unit as the desired storage device.

If you wish to restrict the amount of space used by the Xbox to less than the default 32GB, you may set the desired amount in the Customize menu just underneath Configure Now. After configuration, you might see a warning informing you that your device doesn't meet the performance requirements recommended for a storage device. You will still be able to use the device as a Memory Unit but may experience poor performance under some circumstances.
