I'd disagree with this, my games load noticeably faster. Less texture pop in during many games and big reduction in hitching in PS4 menus and many games.Any particular reason why you'd want an SSD for a PS4? It makes so little difference you're better off buying a higher capacity HDD...

I found it made the biggest difference on my pro vs my old standard PS4.
Running a crucial MX500 1tb in mine.
over time an SSD gets slower and slower and slower in a console due to no TRIM support, etc.
so it's a waste of money.
also if you want faster loading times buy a hybrid drive. i load into destiny faster than others in my fireteam and in battlefield i get into a vehicle before others have loaded in.
hybrid drive is the only drive which makes sense for speed on a console.
TRIM shouldn't matter with modern SSD drive controllers, due to the nature of how they work now.
SSDs additionally are so cheap these days that I'd rather spend the 25% extra on an SSD. I did some testing with my PS4 with a traditional drive, SSD and Hybrid drives. Whilst the hybrid drive could be decent it was only typically with some scenarios and repeat games. The SSD continually came out top and was the easy choice for someone wanting the best performance.
25% extra?
show me a 2TB SSD for £60?
SSHD is the best buy for a PS4, don't need to worry about TRIM as the drive firmware deals with it.
I have a firecuda in mine and it's noticeably faster.
