HDD/SSD Requirements for 4K Recording

Does anyone know the speed required to be able to record with an external hard drive?

Well, we haven't been able to record gameplay properly since April with the same SSDs that we used to record 4K with.

Then they started saying that our hard drives weren't fast enough (half a year ago they were ). Later they confirmed that communication by adding to recent Insider builds the notification that our hard drive isn't fast enough, which comes up even when trying to record while playing, playing the console and recording at 720p with an SSD connected with USB 3.0.

So I would like to know an official answer. What is the speed required to record in 4k?

Because if that were the case I could spend more than 100 dollars on a fast hard drive, although I really don't think that to record a video with a bitrate of 25 MB/s you need a 1000 MB/s hard drive, I think that the one I have that goes at more than 400 MB/s by default is enough, or at least it had been going great before April.

Remember that the gameplay recording system, or GAMEDVR, is an application specific to the console, not an independent one.
