PS4 Hard drive replacement (Gaming)

I did not know this, but 7200RPM drives are not officially supported (because of increased power draw I am guessing). Mine has been working fine so far and the consensus is that you'll be okay. Load times are noticeably better!

Really? I'm impressed by this. I thought the load times were more cpu bound than io (for some reason, I don't know why, it's counter intuitive, I know). I'd love to be able to improve my loadtimes with a HDD upgrade. Do you have any #'s on load time improvements?

I wonder what would happen if you tried to put an SSD in there?

I wonder if the PS4 OS even understands SSDs and supports trim and all that stuff. It might end up being a disaster. I do remember someone of reddit tried an SSD with Destiny, and tower loaded twice as fast.
