Any downsides to running games off of external vs internal drives?

[QUOTE="DSpider, post: 7887959, member: 362834"] Loading times and gameplay should be about the same, since most PS4 games were made to read the data from the internal HDD after they install. The only "downside" would be if you have an original PS4 or a Slim, because they have USB 2.0 (which is limited to some 20 MB/s or so), while the PS4 Pro has USB 3.0. Games will install quicker on the Pro. [URL]https://www.premiumusb.com/blog/usb-20-vs-usb-30-speed-test-results[/URL] Note: Some external USB 2.0 HDDs can go up to 30-40 MB/s, while USB 3.0 ones are 110-120 MB/s. It will vary depending on how the game files were split during their development, but even a "slow" internal will receive files faster from an external when using 3.0. [/QUOTE]
