I was using a 2TB USB Seagate with my XB1X until recently, when I realised I just wasn't using all that additional space. I find the XB1X's internal 1TB drive more than enough (I have currently have 14 games installed - a mix of 360 and XB1X games, with well over 300GB still available). I'm using that 2TB drive on my new XPS PC now, exclusively for game installs (to keep them off the main 2TB internal drive).
I can manage quite well with the XB1X's 1TB drive - I barely play what I have installed on there and with a decent BB connection switching out games (if I have to or want to) is a breeze. I clocked over 100M/bit per second on my Sky BB box the other day. Ridiculous - the data was coming in so fast the XB1X could barely keep up! It varies, of course, but generally speaking these days if you have a good BB connection storage space isn't as much of an issue. Disk management is - you'll need to keep at least 200GB free at all times for updates/patches, etc.
