PS4 Final Fantasy 14 Beta HDD vs SSD Performance Compared

February 25, 2014

Compare the performance of Final Fantasy XIV on an SSD versus the PS4’s regular hard disk.

Final Fantasy XIV is now available on the PlayStation 4 in the form of a beta. The game plays as well as you can expect given the PS4's powerful hardware, which allows it to look as good as its counterpart on the PC.

In any case, it's possible to upgrade the default hardware of the PlayStation 4 by replacing the built-in hard drive with a solid state drive, as the PS4 system allows for it. To that end, what better way to test the drive's performance than to play Final Fantasy XIV on the PS4?

One gamer, @artoriaselene, has put together a comparison of the performance of the default hard drive with a 256gb Toshiba SSD. Needless to say, the loading times for the game are that much shorter compared to the regular PS4 hard drive. Check out the comparisons below.
