I'm skeptical that it's gonna make that much of a difference

when I first got a SSD for my PC, I was still on SATA2, but the improvement was very noticeable. going from SATA2 to 3 was less noticeable. it's the kind of thing you're only gonna notice if you're actually looking at disc write speeds and such

I think the way the PS4 handles data just doesn't benefit much from a SSD (compared to a PC). I would at least wait for benchmarks before running out and buying a SSD for the Pro. I'm pretty sure it will make a difference, but I'm just not sure it will be enough to justify the cost (and limited space) of a SSD

@Fatboi1 is going to buy that $1400 Samsung 4TB SSD.

PC gaming is too expensive :troll:

that's the thing though. people have been upgrading their PS4's HDD to 2TB for around $100. a 2TB SSD is around $600 :huhldup:
Yeah it's nuts.

I really think that SSHDs are the best options on consoles for the boost in performance and storage. It's weird that Seagate has not thrown out a 2.5" 2TB SSHD yet.
