hard drive upgrade
Has anyone done or looked into upgrading the PS4 hard drive? I am debating on upgrading the standard 500GB HD for a 1TB hybrid drive. The hybrid would be around $150 and should speed the PS4 boot time and loading of games. I love my Solid State drives in my PC and now how much of a difference they can make, never really been a fan of hybrids, but think maybe they would be perfect for a PS4, since I don't want to drop $400-$500 on a 500GB ssd. Reviewing speed differences, the hybrids are just slightly slower the full ssd.

@JLHardesty - I've used both a hybrid and an SSD (with the SSD currently installed), and I can tell you that the impact for either is minimal due to the PS4's SATA II interface bottleneck and generally slow disk I/O. I save a few seconds here and there with booting up and Destiny load times, but its nowhere near as fast as if Destiny was running on a PC w/ SSD. If you happen to need a bigger hard drive anyways, get a hybrid - but I'd recommend against upgrading only for minuscule gains in speed - or at least google the measurements various people out there have made and judge for yourself whether it is worth it to you.
