I have at hand a Seagate Backup Plus Portable FAST that is a faster drive (2 2TB HDDs in a RAID0) and I will be using it for testing too to see if the stuttering disappears. I am also checking with a stopwatch at hand to see how much does the game takes to load from when you press the button to launch it until the start screen appears. When I move the game to the internal drive on the XB1 the stuttering disappears (I have the XB1 Elite with the internal hybrid drive). The stuttering in the music also comes when the game just loads the start screen so this makes it easier to test. I am running several tests at the moment. Battlefield Hardline that is an older game appears to be unaffected. I have only noticed the stuttering in the music (not that much but it is noticeable) so far only in Gears of War 4. I would love to read some real use experiences. 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 synthetic tests: 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. The game launched without any problem but the music stuttered. When I got the drive I proceeded to format it on the XB1 and downloaded Gears of War 4 to it. This drive looked 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).
