are we still locked behind 2tb drives ? ie nothing bigger ?

So what Does this exactly mean? Please give me some example of reduced loading times.
For example, getting in and out from houses kills it for me in Skyrim due to the loading Times - would such loading Times be reduced with this kind of hd?
Unless you want to run cables and mount your hdd outside the PS4, use a Nyko databank (which slows down performance), or spend the cash on an expensive ssd, than yes, we are still locked to 2tb drives.
Unless PS4Pro somehow manages to have a 15mm drivebay.

Just ordered the 2TB FireCuda from Amazon.co.uk, hopefully it'll get here by the 10th.
That's the one, I'm disappointed that it isn't a 7200rpm drive but it does seem to be the best drive available for the Pro without going fully SSD, which I don't want to do. I currently have a 2TB hdd in our PS4 and although I'd be OK dropping to a 1TB, I'd only really do that for 1TB SSD at a lower price than you can get them for.This one?
i'm keeping an eye on it. i don't find myself needing more than 1TB. I've only once got close to the 500GB on my launch PS4 but 2TB is nice, but a 1TB for £75, like the Seaget "PS4 SSHD" is pretty decent for price.

You can buy a 4TB SSD that will fit perfectly;
I'm afraid to ask how much would that cost?

I've the Nyko needs to make a different databank as the shape of the two consoles are different and so is the location of the harddrive.
Before I buy it, this is the Firecuda everyone's talking about right?

Why is everyone getting SSHD when surely something like a 1TB Samsung Evo SSD would be far and away better?
Money and storage space.
Cool thanks. I just ordered mine. I wonder if I will be able to notice the difference between my current 2TB drive and this one.Yes it is. Got mine today.
So how does the Firecuda compare against other SSHDs with 8GB NAND?
Sweet! I can't wait to dive into this review.
Ditto. It is, however, just sitting here on my computer desk in its anti-static bag, taunting me until November 10.Yes it is. Got mine today.
OK thanks. I wish I had grabbed it on Newegg last night; it's sold out now.
Will you test with the PS4 first?Grabbed a 1TB 850 evo for this.
Can't wait
Firecuda sold out again on Newegg and I can't use PayPal credit on the other sites that have it in stock.
Just went with the Barracuda instead. I'm okay with that.
Does the cache size on HDD's really matter? Is that something that only PC's can benefit from, or is it a passive thing? I don't know how it works.
I think the drive adapts to how you use it. If you use a certain file more often it will keep that in the Flash so you have quicker access to it. It's 8gb so it can load a significant amount. I'm pretty sure there is a speed difference but how much we won't know until someone test it.
Thanks! I remember when 32mb was impressive back in the day. The one I ordered is 128mb.
ST2000DX002 is the 3.5 inch version. It won't work with the PS4 or Ps4 Pro.
Quick edit lol.
yeah, confused myself for NOTHING with all those open tabs. Thanks anyway.
Ordered one for the Pro.
Thanks, it went back up last night. Looking forward to 11/10 and installing this bad boy!It's back in stock on newegg. just ordered me one.
Thats a 3.5 drive dude.
Not going into a PS4 Pro

Yep. And it's a pretty laughable impressions too, guy seemed just happy to have one.
I'm *hoping* the Firecuda 2.5" 2TB is a good option for PS4 owners, but dropping down to 8GB NAND is worrisome enough to want to wait on benchmarks. At 32GB you could be safe to assume several games + OS files would stay in the NAND cache, whereas here it could be emptying the fridge (in theory) with each game you play, and probably more often within a game if it's using most of a Blu Ray disc. For the ~$150 canadian its just a pretty significant premium until we know more.
