| exdeath said: What's a hard drive? One of those impossibly slow primitive rotating mechanical contraptions that ancient earth cultures used to store data from the 1950s through the mid 2000s? Those things have more in common with VHS, cassette, and stone tablets and chisels than computer components. I didn't know anyone still used those things let alone DESIRED using them. I can't imagine accessing 50 GB of randomly accessed data at 100 kbps. My phone's internet connection is faster than that! I just wish PS4 had 3 more SATA port for SSD RAID0 or a PCI Express 16x port. Only 0.5 GB/s and 90,000 IOPs from a single SATA port is too slow considering the main memory is almost 300 GB/sec. To think people willingly suffer .1 GB/sec max sequential and 100 kbps sustained randoms with 3 IOs per second with some spinning hunk of metal and some cassette deck read/write head thing. Nothing else is measured in kilobytes per second anymore. Nothing uses read/write heads anymore. Nothing. Just hard drives. TLDR: I threw my 500 GB HDD away and installed a 1TB SSD before I even powered the thing on for the first time. I don't allow magnetic stripe recording devices in my home. It's 2015 not 1985. :D |
If you have USB 3.0 than its not slow at all. Plus you can have 3tb or 4tb for alot cheaper then 1 tb SSD. 1TB ssd i can get in nz 5 3tb external HDD lol. 1tb these days is way to small. Alot of people liek myself don't like to delete and reinstall , just to play game hence why we choose HDD as you jsut plug and play and you can access to yoru entire library whenever you want. no waiting no need to reinstall.
