And I highly doubt MS is using Sata 2 of all things considering that was released around 2003 and literily no motherboards even make sata 2 anymore... And I am well awear of the overhead of USB but I am also aware that USB 3.0 can achieve quite fast speeds... I get 90 MB/s on my western Digital external hard drive which is usb 3.0... Internal is better but external isn't so bad either... But with that being said... Since its not avaliable yet, Ps4 has the advantage |
Both uses SATA II... Xbone and PS4... there is no need of SATA III if only SSDs in RAID can use this bandwidth.
The latency of USB 3.0 is bad compared with internal SATA... the data needs a little more time to reach the memory... so even if the speed is close in theory (that it is not) to internal they will have issues.
My guesses MS is having trouble to make the games runs via USB with external HDDs... popup textures but of couse they will fix and release the feature when it is ready.
Just to give a example... GTAV already have issues with external HDD... it had with internal too but less than what it had with external.
