The only thing I would say that will make it slightly slower than another drive would be the rpm. This drive is a 5400 rpm which is slightly slower than a 7200 rpm or a solid state. It depends on what you are looking for in a drive. If you are a serious gamer running intensive fps where load times are important stick to a faster option. If you are a casual gamer just looking for more hassle free storage this is the way to go! Good luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.An external with its own power supply is likely a 7200rpm drive, while this one powered over usb is almost certainly a 5400rpm drive. There will be performance difference but likely not enough to worry about too much. The usb 3 speed is already a MASSIVE improvement over the Sata 2 drive that is inside the xbox.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It does not need an external power supply. You can plug it directly into the Xbox One and it will get its power from the USB port. Its a lot smaller and portable than the AC adapter model you are comparing it to and much more lightweight.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I usually use the ultra version of these drives for my xbox but this should work just fine. I've never had a problem with it on any of my consoles. The ultra version transfers files a little faster is the only difference.
