Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Those complaining about this drive having similar speed compared to a stock PS4 drive may want to READ how this drive is designed to work. There is a good review over at Eurogamer that you should check out. I will paraphrase from their excellent review but in short the drive comes with 8gb of NAND flash storage that only starts to work its magic when you load the same game several times in succession. The drive logically caches the data it sees in frequent use. The more you use the game the faster it loads, topping out speed wise around the 5th load. At this point the Firecuda SSHD is easily within striking distance of a standard SSD. For the money, this makes the Firecuda SSHD a GIGANTIC no brainer! Highly recommended, I'm loving mine!
