    The thing is that the HDD in a PS4 is a pretty standard 2.5-inch laptop drive, so you get load performance equivalent to a laptop running the game. Yes an SSD will improve things a bit, but it's not like the PS4 is suffering long load times.
    the PS4 HD is still 5400 RPM <<. Infact I got one out infront of me that I had replaced with a 99$ 1tb Hybrid a year back.

    It's acceptable, not great. And the software is better than it was in the past.

    And as I said, "Yes an SSD will improve things a bit, but it's not like the PS4 is suffering long load times."

    5400rpm standard 3.5-inch sata laptop drive, yes, I know.

    3 things will make any system with a 5400rpm drive faster.

    larger cache on the disc controller
    higher RPM (risks more noise, more power used, and some additional heat)
    SSD/Hybrid (though historically the better models of these are more expensive and smaller than equivalent HDDs).

    However, unless the acceptable performance of the PS4 is a problem, you're spending money to fix something that's not broken.

    I have to say though that I will more than likely upgrade the HDD in my PS4 at some point when I want more capacity, and will look for a faster option than a 5400rpm. If I'm already at the point of upgrading there is no reason not to upgrade performance as well.

    Day and night difference between the 2, load times, graphics, etc.
    One can also get a faster rpm hd and go with 1 terabyte (more space, yes please), ssd while true would load faster they just are not at all reliable.
    A Hybrid would be a person's best bet if they have the money

    IDK, I was sold on upgrading my ps3 the moment I stopped dying in Titan HM way back when it was something.

    I saw that video already but it did not contain the information I was looking for, so I made this topic. The video just shows graphical comparisons. I was interested in knowing more.

    The PS4 has a better processor than the PS3 and so it would run the game a lot smoother than the PS3. In the end it is better to upgrade if you can. I play on PC but I have read a lot of people amazed at the stark difference of moving to PS4.

    As someone who occasionally plays DPS, this sounds pretty badass.
