I only install what I’m currently playing.
I'll probably do the same as I really like how quiet the X is and I doubt the Series S will be the same due to cost cutting. Still got a few weeks of return window left so will just see what is announced in the coming days. I've bought 3 years of gamepass ultimate now so I should have access to the streaming service soon so that is another option for newer games if the One / X is no longer supported.
You can also store series games on the usb drive and transfer when you want to play.
Not everyone has 1Gbit internet like you.
10Gb
Can you actually make use of that speed downloading games though? I have mine connected via ethernet to the router and it doesn't max out my 200Mbps connection
Nope! Most I’ve got out of it is 4.8 Gb/s using multiple devices simultaneously.
My One X maxes out at about 480 Mb/s. My ISP doesn’t throttle Microsoft servers to the extent that UK ones do it seems.
Edit: Hang on, that 480Mb/s might be the HDD write speeds limiting my download speeds
Yup
All of your One games can stay on the external drive. Only Series games need to go on the internal drive.

interesting. i never had considered an external hard drive.
I have a 1 Tb SSD currently connected to my One X that I plan to use for One games on a Series console.
Pretty incredible really, Gamepass just keeps getting better. MS really starting to knock the ball out of the park.

good but are any good games actually on there?
Perfect timing from EA Play for me my sub runs out in November 
This should bring in lots of new online players for older games aswell breathing new life into the Battlefield,PVZ and Titanfall series.
Nice move by Microsoft.

I'll definitely trying out all those Battlefield games I've missed since Bad Company 2. Heck, it will be great to play Bad Company 1 again! Plenty of stuff I've never played like the Star Wars games as well as I refuse to use Origin on PC.
