Great news... I think I will buy a SSD for my PS4.

And lol at the guys saying external HDDs is the same thing lol

you're wrong on this.

they have confirmed that the external drive by USB 3.0 will be able to operate exactly as an internal drive, so install, game saves etc can all sit there and function correctly.

I don't believe it. I'm sure the core system etc. will not be installed to the external drive, just the non-mandatory parts like games, game saves, DLC etc.

But apart from that, there's a good chance that that's not even what ethnomaz meant.

well not the OS obviously.  but from a storage perspective.

So it's not exactly as the internal drive, just additional storage space for optional data.

And that's why the ability to put the system onto an SSD as ethnomaz is planning has a huge advantage: Because installing the main system onto an SSD usually makes a huge noticable speed difference.
