If it’s an external HD issue, would you happen to know of a good one that will allow it to download at what the Xbox is capable of?
I found the ‘interchangeable’ answer online which is what made me go ahead and do it. Tested both consoles. Signs me in to either one without a problem. Obviously I can’t be on both at once. But that isn’t really needed for what I wanted to do.
I use a Western Digital brand external, but I generally download straight to the Xbox and then transfer so I can't say if the drive was slowing your downloads or not.

Yeah, too many variables to know for sure. Maybe I’ll do some tests. I know the WD HD’s are good. I’m hoping in the near future SSD drives will come down in price. I’d love to use one for the speed alone. But to get one big enough to store a bunch of games it’s just stupid expensive. Last I checked it was as much as the console. Even then, I’m not sure if the load times and download would be as good as what I have experienced today. With my original xb one, the cod load time was super slow and downloading games onto my external would fluctuate from 30-186 Mb/s. So far, (having the X for maybe 6 hours) the cod load time is easily half what it was and my download speeds are now peaking at what I’d imagine the Xbox can handle.

Not sure how I managed to quote you like that. Looks like what I said is what you posted,
I rented COD WW2 on PS4 to play with my bro this weekend and there's a SUBSTANTIAL graphical difference between the PS and XBX Enhanced version.
