Honestly consoles should drop the hdd internally as the games are getting bigger, the patches are getting bigger and more importantly most want you to install them.
All games should be installed on external attached drives next gen. Saves the trouble of fucking around with backing up the whole system drive, then pulling out a drive when you run out of space then having to reapply the backup to the main.
So
- A system sdd for system applications only
- External Drive A
- External Drive B
- etc..
Just plug in the external with the game you want to play simple.
I would actually also love to see the console go a step further and allow you to install the full game (not just 80% of it) from disc like a digital copy does. This way people who like physical collections can still get them and not burn out the laser in no time.
