Why this matters is cause this on the hardware side of things will amount to a literal halving+ in loading times. So anything that needs to be loaded from the internal HDD will happen much much much (and noticeably) faster.

It really doesn't halve load times.
It is limited by the Mechanical Hard Disk Drives transfer rate, most will hover around 120MB/s these days, perhaps tank to 20MB/s during excessive random reads and writes.
I highly doubt a large % of console users even bother to upgrade their antiquated 5400rpm drives anyway.

I meant internal SSD. The whole discussion had been about using an SSD thst has peak theoretical bandwith of 550MB/s over a SATA 3 interface. Of course we knkw there is a mechanical disk limitation. I referenced that in one of my earlier posts.
