But it's correct, HDDs are completely useless, you're suppose to know stuff. Try play World of warcraft on HDDs, its not possible. You get loading times that are between 1-2 minutes and the game lags for several minutes after, this with the fastest HDD that exist, western digital black desktop mechanical drive. While on a ssd the game will load in 5 seconds and no lag whatsoever after.

I said 2 months ago it's 100% certain that the next-gen consoles will have a SSD or NVMe drive (1TB) and I was correct.

Proves my point, HDD is useless.

Too expensive, they won't do that. Even a 1 TB SSD costs about twice what a 2TB HDD would cost. It's still too soon for SSD in consoles. A Mid-gen upgrade could use them, though, but not the OG in 2020.

Probably it's not an SSD form but a dedicated nand flash memory soldered into the motherboard and it will be small size memory and only transferring some small data and compress data. It will be possible and especially for console because all games will be made base on this standard so all games on PS5 will utilize this.  And also it will not be expensive like your guess because it will just be small size (probably 32 or 64 to 128 GB flash memory ).
