Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS4pro HDD vs SSD test up: DF tests & NXGamer. Final 5-40% perf improvement

First test of a PS4pro with an SSD in the system. I won't call it an exhaustive test, but basically we see improvements of 22% to 40%+ plus depending on the game (all based from the 4 games tested).

This just in, and of Final Fantasy 15. It shows loading times as much as halved on the PS4pro using an SSD.

NXgamer as usual makes an exhaustive analysis. Which confirms as some suspevter thst the onky games that reslly show a significant PS4pro SSD performance increase are patvhed games. With very few unpatched exeptions.

pretty good stuff, but the question is this; Is a few extra hundred dollars worth it for cutting 3-5sec off from a loading?

I got a 1.5TB SSD in my PC, and a 2TB HDD ready for my PS4Pro. It's a tough question



CPU: Ryzen 9950X
GPU: MSI 4090 SUPRIM X 24G
Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 32GB DDR5
SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade 4TB
Gaming Console: PLAYSTATION 5

Meh, I will stick with the 1TB tyvm



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

Awesome, I've got a 4TB Evo 850 coming Friday to drop in the Pro. Should give me enough room for all the Retro and VR gaming I want to do for the next couple of years. SSD is the future, and PS5 has to be based around it to be a truly next gen console. Hopefully prices will fall quickly, and 8TB will be out in the next couple of years.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

How does the 1tb pro compare to 500gb base ps4?
The cheapest 1tb SSD is $30 more expensive than the pro here, and that's on sale. Hopefully next gen will have a sku with SSD drive in it.

Have no idea. I dont feel this analysis thourough. But its the bwt we hsve got so far. I'm also getting a 1TB SSD, but it's around $70 cheaper than a pro.

And as for next gen, I'm convinced we would be seeing Nvme M.2 drives in those consoles. Lots of time for those prices to come crashing down in the next 4yrs.

Gonna check out if the loading times for WoFF and FFXV are ok with the HDD. If not I'm gonna replace it with a 250GB SSD.

I've been consiering that too. Get a 256/512GB SSD and onky keep on the games i am currently playing . Shouldn't be too hard since this gen I have been all digital. But though thought of never having more than 3 games on at a time gives me nightmares hence why I'm leaning towards a 1TB.

Fuck sony for not building in support of external HDD. Would have just connected a 4TB HDD to it and stored my games there instead and only move over what I wanna play.

I never got the issue with the space. I never came even close to 50GB on my PS4 without even deleting stuff.

My games drive in my PC which holds all steam, uplay, battlenet and Origin games is 200GB. That's the one I gonna use for the Pro. Should be plenty for just two games.

I don't know anyone who plays more than 3 games at the same time.
