Upgrading your hard drive is as easy as plugging in a compatible external hard drive.
It used to be when you bought a console, upgrading your storage was something that was easier said than done. When you initially , 500GB or a full Terabyte of space seems like a lot. In reality though, that might only hold 15 or 20 games. If you intend on purchasing plenty of digital movies, or you play every new game that comes out then expanding how much space you have available can quickly become a necessity.
All you need is a USB 3.0 external hard drive, and you can access up hundreds of gigabytes more storage space for your console.
