? I think this is just part of the tech they bought from AMD.

Again - if you put a SATA2 drive in this, you will see great benefits. If you change that to a SATA3 drive, the benefits won't be there in the same way.

An SSD is fast because of its underlying, inherent tech, not because of the interface it is connected to the bus. SATA2 offers a *lot* of speed/bandwidth.

Damn what am i reading? It's almost as if your need to be right or to prove that I'm wrong is making you unreasonable. 

An SSD's "inherent tech" allows it  speeds of 550MB/s (or significantly higher with an nvme drive over a PCie  interface). It will be impossible to hit such speeds if it's connected to a SATA 2 interface. The interface will be the bottleneck. 

On the PS4pro, using SATA 3 means that bottleneck is no longer there and in a case where an SSD in a PS4s would be limited by the sata 2 interface it will excel in the PS4pro.

I don't understand what you are saying....... 

I'm saying

STICKING A SATA 3 SOLID STATE DRIVE IN THE PS4PRO WILL GIVE YOU THE BEST POSSIBLE DRIVE PERFORMANCE. 

Not talking about putting a SATA 3 HARD DISK DRIVE in it cause that won't amount to significant benefits over a sata 2 HDD cause then the limitation is still the disc platters in a hard disc drive (or thr inherent tech if HDDs).

You know what I give up..... Don't understand how something as simple as storage drives over different connecting interfaces can become so complicated. 

Yep, it's absolutely something I don't understand. But people are what they are. Not everybody understands tech, apparently.
