I'm looking to put a new drive in my PS4 and I'm torn on which would be a better choice for the system. Can anyone give me some advice as to which would be best.

Thank you in advance.

I'd say you can't go wrong with a 7200RPM drive, the price difference is marginal and if you need the space anyway then whey not spend the little bit of difference on a 7200RPM drive. I wouldn't expect much difference in speed though.

I don't think that SSD are worth it. I also don't see the usefulness of a SSHD. The NAND cache is so small that it really doesn't seem worth it to me.

I've seen those videos and there is some difference, but I'm getting a bigger drive for it either way. This is just me trying to figure out if I should drop the extra cash for a 7200rpm drive.
