So if Digital Foundry does testing and the SSD benefit is legit I have an SSD in mind. I'd love to buy a Samsung 850 Pro or Evo at the 1TB storage tier and up. But they are really expensive still. I don't want to compromise on storage space though. As Pro purchasers I imagine a lot of us are really invested in the Playstation ecosystem and we have some pretty big libraries so I am not looking at anything under 1 TB.
Anyways, I came across the Sandisk X400 and the review I read makes it really sound like a legit alternative. This passage comes from a review on
Anandtech.com
It really sounds like a no compromise drive just a step below the Samsung 850. I spotted one on Rakuten for a comparatively cheap $236.

With prices marching north of $300 on these comparative large storage SSDs I think this one might be a great choice. Anyone else tried this model or has some insight? Again, this is assuming that the SSD will be worth putting in the Pro. If not, I think the 2 TB Seagate Firecuda is a very cost effective choice when it releases. The Seagate 1 TB SSHD has been my go to since last gen and I have one inside my PS3 and a regular Samsung / Seagate 2 TB HDD was in my original PS4 before I sold it.
