I can tell that I am going to quickly run out of storage space. Does running an external hard drive hurt loading times, or cause issues in gaming in 4K or Enhanced modes?

With XBox One S you could get fast improvements in loading times by using an external drive

It all depends on the drive of course, and there are no tests yet how fast the internal drive is in the X. But since the S already makes good use of a faster drive it would seem logical that using an external SSD to icopy the game you're playing on will help a lot.

The Xbox one X has a 7200rpm drive confirmed tough, right? that would at least make it the fastest stock drive. Obviously a SSD is always much faster.
