Seagate Halo Infinite Special Edition Game Drive Review

Performance
The drive performed about as well as I would have expected. It’s not fast, but it’s not designed to be. If you want super-fast storage, then you need an external SSD style drive, or you use the Seagate Storage Expansion Card, but while that drive will copy the 136GB of Halo in just over two minutes, it costs £200 for 1TB. Really, it’s about matching your requirements, and for backups, the 2TB Game Drive is just fine. It took 26 minutes and 40 seconds to back up 136GB, which isn’t that bad really. By the time I’d had a cup of tea, the job was done.
The drive matches the speed of those drives found in the Xbox One, so while modern Series X games need to be loaded from something faster, you can play older titles directly from the drive just fine. Albeit, it’ll load as fast as they used to, not as fast as they could on the internal storage. That being said, it never really felt like it was holding me up.
