Xbox One External Hard drive

Is the Seagate Backup Plus PORTABLE external drive too slow for the XB1?

Seagate sells the 4TB Xbox Game Drive. This drive looks very similar to its cousin the 4TB Seagate Backup Plus PORTABLE (and I write portable in caps because Seagate also sells the Backup Plus that is a bigger 3.5" external drive that needs external power while the portable model is driven by power from the USB 3 port itself).

When I got the drive I proceeded to format it on the XB1 and downloaded Gears of War 4 to it. The game launched without any problem but the music stuttered. I found this very strange and proceeded to move the game from the external drive to the internal on the XB1 and there the music and everything worked perfectly.

Has anyone tested one of the Seagate Backup Plus Portable drives on the XB1 for storing games on them? What are your results? I found this article on storagereview and it appears that the Xbox Game Drive is indeed a little faster on sequential read speeds than the Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB on the syntetic tests:

I would love to read some real use experiences.
Thank you.

I dont have the external drive that you mention but i do have 2 seagate drives 1 is a 3TB drive and the other is a 5TB drive, their both USB3.0 and both of them have performed brilliantly, they load the games up faster than the internal and their both powered
externally not through the usb, i would deffo take a look at seagate drives, hope this helps!!

That's the exact same external drive I use, and I have not had a single problem with it.

I'd go with Seagate. They're one of the better external hard drives imo. I have a 3TB Seagate and I love it.
