Not that strange looking at the sizes of current day games.Must not have seen that. That's bizarre and unfortunate. That means I can't even use my 240GB SSD (not that I would, since it's in my PC, but still).

Should a 256GB flash drive work? Just curious.

Same guy I believe that did the Raid 0 tests, did some with SSDs and they pretty much match Raid 0.

Do "USB powered" drives always use 2.5" drives? Conversely, do "separately powered" drives typically use 3.5" drives?
Or do I always need to Google for specs?
Surprised the SSDs aren't doing too well comparatively. But these games weren't really made to take advantage of that. Oh well.
Use an external SSD and get back to us.
Great... a fast external HDD upgrade will be norm after June.
But it is just me or these times posted here are incredible high... 40s, 1m10s, WTF.

SSD been tested and show the same as Raid 0, we need SSD vs single 7200 and 5400, looks like SSD is not a big jump, just very minor.
I know once I get the results I need to purchase, amazon is going to raise the prices due to demand, I just know it. Very tempted to just gamble.
0 seek time is what made ssd famous. Even on stat 2 i dont think anything will max that out that why a lot of people dont even mess with sata 3.0. You would not likely notice a different. Really what can write at 500MB/s?Was discussing this on reddit, Most modern SSDs max out at 500MB/s, SATA2 supports 300MB/s so an SSD is probably overkill as a raid solution that get close to 300MB/s will be just as good?
Has anyone tried one of those hybrid SSD/HDD drives?
Being external and going through usb3 really goes against the gain on a ssd. The usb controller is likely the bottleneck.
USB 3.0 is likely slower than sata 2 so i hope in the future they would let us replace the hdd with an SSD.

Nah usb3 is way faster than sata2 at least at standards level, sata2 itself is not fast emough to support the full speed of an ssd (300MB/s vs 500MB/s for an SSD)
Ive had two people tell me different thing on the usb3 connection actually piggy backing on the sata2 channel and someone else saying this is not the case
That all depends on the USB controller.
I could be faster or it could not be. Seeing really no improvement with sdd leaves me to believe the controller is at its peak performance.
yes i guess so ill probably get a fast 3.5" hdd in a usb3 enclosure when i need one
Just no... I have this game.Digital Game Load Save (Killzone):
Stock: 61 seconds
WTF.
It depends on the external drive but this is an easy test. I have a seagate 3 tb external and a 3 tb internal, both at 5400 RPM with 32 mb cache (on my PC as extra drives). The read times are faster on the internal vs the external by a decent margin and the write times are much much slower on external vs internal.
In regards to the X1 externals people testing reporting the speed enhancements may be on 7200 external drives ... there's a few external SSDs out now but they're really expensive.
Syrus, I joined you brother, just bought a 2tb seagate expansion. it'll be here in 3 days.
What made you pick the externally powered drive?

But you're BOTH right. The drive inside the Xbox One is not very fast, but USB 3.0 also has faster theoretical speeds than SATA ll.

Samsumg 5400RPM, 2.5", SATA II, 8MB cache.That's odd. Anyone know the specs for the internal drive?
great!
so I cross-tested on WD mybook 2tb
Forza (Freeplay on Prague, Lotus F1, 7 AIs)
mybook 2tb: 29 sec.
Ryse (Solo Arena Oasis)
mybook 2tb: 1:12"
I did a hard reset before loading up forza, and with forza still running I fired up ryse and did the test.
I do have it, but it has this thing where it thinks dr3 is downloading something and does not let me move/copy between hdds. so that means I have to re-download, so this will take a lot of timecan u try DR3 if you have it?
great!

The thing with the SSHD is that you can't just do one load and post that time.
You have to do multiple loads to let the cache do its thing.
Forza (Freeplay on Prague, Lotus F1, 7AI)
1st load: 26,33
2nd load: 24,67
3rd load: 24,87
After everything is said and done that track averages 25 seconds.
Le Mans (free play same car and AI as Prague)
Average of 29 seconds.
Ryse (solo arena Oasis)
Seems to average to 1:05. The MP with two players is not a good test because there is more to it than loading, connecting the two players takes longer etc.
Last I call bullshit on some of those numbers the guy at reddit posted. There is no way Forza is loading in 22 seconds on a USB powered drive even if it's 7200rpm. I have no clue when that guy starts his stop clock.
