Chances are due to the design of the console adding a SSD will be a waste of money and you won't get any actual increased performance of it, well SSD don't actually increase performance anyway, but chance are you won't get the perceived increased performance of faster loading times either.

LOL! Are you for real? I know you are a Xbone one fan, but come on. Off course Solid-State Drives would offer increased performances Hard Disk Drives. Especially over 7200rpm drives.

Before you call jump on him, I think he means with regards to consoles, I know putting an SSD in PS3 didn't do diddly squat but then games weren't fully stored on on the HDD.

The motherboard of the PS3 probably couldn't max a SSD. There was a difference still, but it wasn't worth the price ratio back in 2006 when the PS3 launched.

Yeah try it in a PS3 then tell me. Stop acting like you know stuff when you are clearly talking out of your back side. He is not arguing that it won't account to better performance but merely that it won't be visible for end users, as with the PS3 (Which I incidentally have experimented with).anyone that thinks popping an SSD in a console is going to magically make everything faster- think again. HDD speeds are EASILY fast enough to handle OS and game start ups with the amount of direct RAM bandwidth and storage they are getting and this is coming from an SSD "fanboy".

Again, pointless. The usb3 connection would be the bottleneck.

HAHAHAHAHA you have got to be joking right? EVEN if it was a massive bottleneck that rendered it useless, SSDs have other things going for them.

USB3s bottleneck is pretty damn close to SATAs. You're talking around 500 megs a second vs around 550 with protocol overhead, so not really no.

of course they can...
