That seems like an odd way to think of the question lol.
Can you confirm your speed is also about 3-4 seconds from standby to menu?

You don't need a fast hard drive for this, standby keeps everything in RAM, that's why it's so fast regardless of HDD.
Nice! I'm planning to get the 500GB or 1TB Evo a few months down the road, very interested in the results!

Cool! Man! That video! That's mind blowingly fast! And that's not even an SSD or SSHD!!! Rizzilio, you saved the day! Wish I could test this myself, but my package got delayed to Monday :'(

My system is definitely going to Standby because it's always been going to orange. I did just try shutting off Auto updates and got the same results.
Your video is crazy though. It even skips the PS logo. Mind sharing any settings you might have changed?

so there are no heat concerns with the drives that are 7200?
This. Also, Rizzilio, any chance that you could test power consumption with your standby? I wonder if it's the reported 10 watts or not.

There hasn't really been enough time to see whether the faster drive has any big impact on heat, but I'd assume it shouldn't cause too much of a problem.

Here is a video of standby to start boot time with the HGST Travelstar 7K1000 1TB 7200 RPM hdd.
Working on game start videos but youtube is a strange and scary place and I have pizza so it's taking a while.

You should only see the PS logo if you are booting form cold. Going from Standby on his PS4 and the Vita just takes you right back to the OS.
Thanks for that David. Your YouTube image looks like you are one of the actor folk they always use in PR photos lol
It will not fit. The bay is at most 12.5mm tall, but 9.5 is the size Sony say you need.

SSHD is the way to go. Has anyone tried putting a 15mm hdd in their ps4?
SkullHydra

Well so far it looks like 7200rpm might be a bit better. And isn't 15mm way too big?

I'm very confused then. I hold the PS and specifically press standby. Takes close to 20 secs for the light to hit orange. I press the PS button, screen stays black for about 11 secs and PS logo for about 8 and 1-2 secs for the main menu to boot.

Resogun cold boot with same hard drive mentioned before. HGST 7200rpm

Cold boot time on the Seagate 1TB SSD Hybrid - 21.5 seconds
Stand by Was 22.
Need to conduct more test in the future but I'm just chiming in.
Killzone boot up 9 seconds.

You may need to check and make sure your Standby mode is actually functioning correctly. There's a new piece in the OP that may help.
Thanks for testing it out for us!

Stand by is yielding about the same results. I have all 3 check marked. Seems a cold boot is faster than stand by on my SSD hybrid.
Looked at the gif,as far as I can see yes I tested the same way they did
All I could think is how slow it was for an SSD
Don't have a HDD to compare to, but when my system boots in 10 seconds it is annoying how most games take more time loading despite having an SSD.
Åesop;90028259 said:Samsung 840 EVO SSD current price list:
1 TB = 494,90
750 GB = 404,89
500 GB = 289,90
250 GB = 150,89
And all this can make think is how cheap SSDs have gotten. Seriously, it's super fast and never slows down due to defragmentation (or anything really), barely uses any power, makes no noise, can survive big falls while in use and is overall super reliable. This is something we could only dream about a couple of years ago.

Really? This is very interesting. I wonder what's going on to make the 7200rpm drive boot so much more quickly. There's got to be something setting-wise that changes things...

Thank god i'm not going crazy. I was afraid my HDD or FW was borked. lol

That resogun boot time for ssd is very close to the video I posted showing the boot time with 7200 rpm drive.
Can you guys try disabling the auto update features to see if you end up with times equivalent to cold boot? Just need to confirm if those are the settings that are giving the boost.
Damn, big differences. Will definitely be upgrading my drive.
Seems like hybrid HDDs works really well.

IGN's test results. Odd how the Hybrid drive fell behind the stock one when loading into BF4. Then again, the way BF4 works, the hybrid drive doesn't really get used to its advantage. Long play times in between each map load, and almost never the same map 2 times in a row, unless the server is like that.

I wish they would have tried out a 7200rpm drive as well. It seems like it could be the best kind to use (Aside from possibly the SSD, which is much more expensive per GB).
What's up with those AC4 boot times. 10 seconds on the stock HD and 57 on a SSD? How does that work?
They say it's their own test. Unless you're making a joke I don't get.
welp, if we go by Strata8's thread then I should expect to see 10 watts w/no download, and between 70-80 w/download. i'm getting around that w/download, but i'm getting a contsant 22 watts w/ no download. first pic is with no downloads going on (meaning I turned off the setting to connect to the internet for the PS4), second pic is with downloads (contrast was dling while it was on standby.)
*Edit*
I'd also like to point out that when I came back from standby without the internet option checked it took much much longer to get into the ui (closer to the times other people were getting) including having to go through the ps logo and the safety screen.
I think there were a few mistakes made when conducting these tests.
It was a joke, nevermind
Haha okay, I missed that one.

Cool. Thanks a lot, Rizzilio. This settles it. It seems like the type of standby that others are experiencing has to do with auto update options and not some pixie dust sprinkled over your 7200 drive. This is fantastic news. If we can get more people like Morty to corroborate this, then a lot of websites need to update their timings so that the good news would spread faster.
What's baffling is that people like LiquidMetal14 seem to have all options turned on and yet don't get the numbers that you get. Is it possible to share snapshots of all your settings screens? I know you would much rather be enjoying your PS4, but you seem to be on to something that a lot of people are failing to achieve!

Yeah this standby stuff is confusing. I've tried a million settings and not getting the 3 second boot. Not sure if it's the HDD or what. I'm satisfied either way but that 3 sec standby is nuts. lol

There's a Tools button at the bottom right side of the page which takes you to the subscribe button.
Nice! So you managed to get the 3 second boot time too! Anything specific about the settings that stands out to you? Shit is getting real, folks!

This is the beauty of being able to change out your HDD's.
During this gen, maybe in 2 years, SSD's should get pretty big and should go down atleast double in price.

So far SSD and 7200 are reporting 3 sec loads right?
