Thank you.Seagate's Backup Plus line of external drives will expand mid-July to include the 4TB portable drive (2.5-inch). 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.
