the upside of these drives is the much larger capacity in a form factor that will fit in a ps4. the small boost in speed is just a bonus. also, this is around the same price as a normal 5400 rpm 2tb drive, so why not go for the sshd?

Our benchmark, which loaded nine different applications (typically as many of you would at home) showed that the FireCuda simply can't handle so many different programs and still perform consistently. It'll be fine if you just want to run Windows and Word, or your most-used app, but load it up with much else and you'll start seeing some very strange results indeed. We saw up to 25% variance on some tests, which is then balanced out by other tests - it just can't make up its mind which app to optimize for. While it can be very quick, we can't give it top marks because it makes for a PC that might be having a good day, or a bad day, and you never know which to expect.
So If I decide to buy this, then i need an enclosure and then connect to the XBox one through usb? or can it be fitted inside the console? Please advise. Thanks
on a pc, yes, you are correct. for a ps4 ssd vs sshd are pretty much same.
And you're right but also wrong. It's a hybrid drive so it's using tiering - some stuff will be read from the ssd portion.
Why does it keep saying it's someone wish list??
