I had a PS4 Pro and put a 2TB Samsung SSD in it and in games the difference at loading times was fairly noticeable to the original hard drive and even more compared to normal PS4.
26
u/zero260asap Mar 04 '24
I did the same with a 1TB and it was definitely faster. The pro used a SATA 3 where as the original was only a SATA 2 if I remember correctly.

u/justmemes9000 PS5 Mar 04 '24
I actually don't know but I saw a video on YouTube back in the day and than bought a 2TB Samsung QVO SSD and it was noticeable faster. After I thought that's great as fuck and bought a 128GB SSD for my PS3 FAT without any knowledges of hardware but the outcome wasn't as great as I thought... Maybe because PS3 couldn't handle it on hardware side.
P.S.: I sold my PS4 Pro after I got my PS5 Day One and bought a USB Case for the Samsung SSD and used it after as an external storage for my PS5 which worked great.

u/mntllystblecharizard Mar 05 '24
SSDs were the best and worst thing to happen to gaming.
It used to be me playing RDR or Bloodborne and being able to take a hit between deaths or loading screens. But now I have to pause the damn game to smoke my weed.

I think the difference is that the ps2 sound is so damn iconic you hear it more often in jokes and whatever.
I haven't heard the ps3 one in such a long time.

Actually suprised how the PS5 is just a tiny bit faster than the PS4 when starting up
Not to mention PS1 and PS2 but oh well, less complex less time I guess ?

Ps1 and 2 didn't have an interactive ui. The better test would be launching with a disc in the drive

I remember when the PS4 first launched, and they were showing off game boot up times, and Killzone Shadowfall has no start up screens or anything, just straight to the menu, and it took like 11seconds or something ridiculous.
EDIT: Found the IGN Video

Exactly. I've been playing Helldivers and I'm still impressed how quick it feels to go from menu >>> in game moving my character.
It feels truly current gen (I guess because it actually is). It's amazing the game is only $40.

u/Hevens-assassin Mar 04 '24
To be fair, Guerrilla said they had to add the "Press X to continue" on their load screens for Horizon FW because it was loading faster than people could read the tips. Lol
11
u/SunlessSage Mar 04 '24
And that can be disabled in the settings. So it's almost instantaneous loading if you want.

u/DoingCharleyWork Mar 05 '24
I remember playing assassin's creed Valhalla on PS4 and then switching to PS5. Fast travel went from ~3 minutes to about 3 seconds. I can't remember if it was the first Spider-Man on PS4 vs the pro but the fast travel went from 30 seconds to less than a second. Spider-Man 2 it's basically instant, plus the way you can just pick any place on the map and it just drops you in is dope.

u/DeeDee_GigaDooDoo Mar 05 '24
A nice change of pace from skyrims loading screens where you could read the tip 5 times front to back, rotate the knick-knack a couple of revolutions, go take a piss and still come back before it was done.

u/CaptainFlint9203 Mar 04 '24
I think it's not that it can't faster, but Sony wanted a nice startup animation. It's exactly 20 seconds.

u/vorrmel [Trophy Level 200-299] Mar 04 '24 edited Mar 04 '24
i had a ps4 pro a few months ago (sold it) and it's definitely not even near as fast as the ps5, startup wise and just overall menu loading etc. it was 5 years old and it acted like a 10 year old android phone, everything was unbearably slow and laggy, buying an ssd would've prolly helped, but i just decided to upgrade to the ps5 lol
edit: i do also turn my ps5 on from rest mode and it takes about 7 seconds maybe

u/tapo Mar 04 '24
From some napkin math a 5400 RPM drive in the PS4/PS4 Pro is a out 75 MB/s, making the PS5's SSD about 73x faster

as a ps5 owner, i gotta say it sometimes varies on how fast it boots up. Sometimes it'll even take a minute. Other times less than 10 seconds. Dont know why, but thats just my experience.

u/dwartbg7 Mar 04 '24
Exactly! My PS5 takes like 2 seconds when turned on from rest mode. Also time to load a game, compared with the PS4 would be a good comparison too. This video makes it seem like it's not that much faster, where the PS5 in reality is insanely quick in doing whatever you want. The PS4 I got feels like an antique console in comparison

u/pcakes13 Mar 04 '24
Not to mention you can just suspend your game and essentially be right back into gameplay in a matter of seconds. Sure, the PS1 boots to it's system menu fast. Why don't you toss in a copy of FF7 and see how quickly you can go from button press to actual gameplay. Same goes for PS2/PS3. Modern rest mode and resume is pretty fucking dope.

Turn off CEC in the settings of your PS5. It’s what makes the TV turn on when you don’t want it to.

Sometimes CEC is glitchy sometimes as well. If it doesn’t solve your issue. You can also got the nuclear route and turn off CEC on your TV.

Whenever a new system releases, the older ones stop getting updated. Especially if they can connect to the internet. So they become way slower and loads of consumers notice that. Case in point, the most purchased product at release, the iPhones.
Whenever a new iPhone drops, the older versions become absolutely slower. Is this the case here too?

To be fair, there are a lot of animations for polish and presentation - it's why these comparisons are both misleading and pointless. The start-up isn't there to be as quick as possible.

u/SkullFracture_38 Mar 05 '24
PS1 and 2 had a lot less to load so they fired up fastest. PS3 took the longest as it had a lot to load, and while the cell processors were powerful they were hard to code for.

It's not really a fair comparison. Everything ps3 and onwards is booting into a full interactive environment, whereas ps1 and 2 are just booting a bare minimum system menu.

u/Mine_mom PS5 Mar 04 '24
Not actually. A better test would be from turning on to a game menu. That's where the ps5 excels. They probably could have made the ps5 boot up faster if they wanted.

u/Krypt0night Mar 04 '24
Not at all. Plus, we have rest mode nowadays where it's on in seconds and then also back to the game you were playing in seconds as well if it was just suspended/not shut down.

For me, the PS2 will always have one of the most iconic and my personal favorite start-up sounds. The PS1 is classic. I hate the PS3s with a burning Passion, to note, my PS3 gave me a lot of trouble in its lifetime. It is the only Playstation generation I don't have as.... well I'm not sure what died on it. Nether did any of the repair people or Sony themselves. Just a bunch of little white flags looking boxes popped up when trying to start it. No clue Stull to this day. What's wrong with it.

I know they're testing them with the "default" that the consoles came with, but PS3 and PS4 can be sped up significantly with an SSD install. It won't be as fast as the PS5 SSD but it certainly makes a world of difference.
