So how much does it cost? The cheapest offers for a 4TB SSD are around €1300. The few seconds speed advantage in loading times wouldn't be worth the extra money to me (PS4 Pro + 4 TB SSD = €1700), so I really hope the HDD cage of the PS4 Pro will fit a 4TB HDD with 15 mm height.... these cost less than €200.

It will end up being about $2000 US for both. The 4TB SSD is only 6.80mm in height, so it easily fits the PS4 Pro. I know the price to performance ratio is not really worth it, but I am fully beind the death of the HDD and the rise of the SSD. I have been SSD only since GT5 came out and it cut the load times in half. Since then I have upgraded each time a higher capacity drive was available. Had a 1TB in my OG PS4, put a 2TB in the 1200 model I bought last year, and now the 4TB for the Pro.

HDD is primitive garbage that belongs in dumps with reel to reel, cassette, 8 track, floppy, and VHS.  This 1950s magnetic recording has hobbled our technology for far too long.  Say no to the IO bottleneck.

60+ GB/s CPUs and RAM and 1 gig internet and 10-100 gig LAN and we still fucking read/write code and data off a fucking primitive magnetic spindles using magnets at kilobytes per second access speeds.  wtf
