Just saying that a SSD would help to achieve 1080p shows that the rumour is fake and the guy that invented it is too stupid to even lie in a convicing way. It's a shame that there are people here even believing in this BS. Just read the rumour guys, it's inconsist from a technical standpoint, therefore, impossible.

SSD Drive? Well, if it's a crappy drive like in the PS3 12 GB version, they better not do it. Especially as this gen there is more write load on disks I wouldn't go for SSDs...


It wasn't a SSD, it was a flash drive. They are pretty different. A flash drive is slower than a HDD, while a SSD is created with several flash drives in paralel and achieves a way higher performance than a HDD. The drive's life is shorter tough.

 

Not that much. Sure there is slow and fast flash but nowadays it's the controller that makes a lot of the speed. The main performance increase however is acres time. The fact that bigger flash drives are also faster than others also indicate that it's the controller itself and the logic in it manages the speed, so to say (well,throughput and iops that is.).

Either way, it's flash in both cases
