PS4 Pro HDD vs SSD Loading Times Test Results [source]

On this page you can find testing results of loading times on hard drives the HGST 1TB 7200RPM drive and Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB, exact time was measured using a stop watch. Note: Comparison wasn't made with the stock HDD that came with PRO. The HGST 7200 RPM is only slightly faster than the stock Toshiba drive and thus nearly identical in most cases. If you want to see the tech comparison, here's benchmark results of stock Pro Toshiba HDD, HGST HDD and 860 EVO

Notes

spacemanticore on topic of SSD hard drives for speedrunnes: It's a double-edged swords for speedrunners. Due to how Bloodborne calculates it's in-game time, runners who want to be play competitively are essentially required to get an SSD at this point. Bloodborne doesn't count load screens as in-game time, but it does count the black screens that come before and after certain scene transitions and cutscenes. Faster black screens equal more time saved. It's a case of pay-to-win when it comes to the top runners. SSD has been proven to save upwards of 30+ seconds in a run that's about an hour or so long.
