Does a video from a HD connected to USB 3.0 port play better than if it is connected to a USB 2.0 port?

Hi. I returned a Raspberry PI 4 w/Libreelec because ts videos (H264 MPEG-4 AVC with a 29970030 frame rate) were breaking up/stuttering. They were played from a Western Digital HD connected to USB 2.0 port. Is it likely that they would play better if the HD was connected to a USB 3.0 port? Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the information Da Flex. Will try another Raspberry PI with Libreelec.

UPDATE: Bought another RPI4 and added Libreelec. The ts files play perfectly when the external HD is connected to the USB 3.0 port. Thanks again for helping me.
