First test of a PS4pro with an SSD in the system. I won't call it an exhaustive test, but basically we see improvements of 22% to 40%+ plus depending on the game (all based from the 4 games tested).

This just in, and of Final Fantasy 15. It shows loading times as much as halved on the PS4pro using an SSD.

And just in from DF

A summary of DF results:

Fallout 4:

PS4 HDD: 55.30 seconds 
PS4 SSD: 29.06 seconds
Pro HDD: 48.54 seconds
Pro SSD: 26.40 seconds 

Witcher 3:

PS4 HDD: 1m 32.3s
PS4 SSD: 1m 09.2s 
Pro HDD: 1m 18.6s 
Pro SSD: 1m 07.3s

Just cause 3:

PS4 HDD: 1m 10.2s
PS4 SSD: 43.52 seconds
Pro HDD: 1m 16.4s
Pro SSD: 42.29 seconds 

Project Cars:

PS4 HDD: 50.30 seconds
PS4 SSD: 40.26 seconds
Pro HDD: 43.58 seconds 
Pro SSD: 41.03 seconds

A significant oversight on DF part: None of the games tested has a Pro patch available. I don't know how DF could have made such a mistake. If the PS4pro throttles down to match the OG PS4 specs as is then wouldn't it mean that the benefits from running an SSD on the Pro would also match those of the PS4og, I feel they should have done their tests using games that at least have a Pro patch available which would at least have taken advantage of the Pro's hardware. 

You can also ignore Just Cause 3 strange results because we know this game can have random loading times.

As a whole the stock Pro HDD is faster than the stock PS4 HDD which will matter for most people.
