I am wondering if anyone else notices a big difference in load times when running games off of an external hard drive? I have noticed games tend to take longer to load up, load cutscenes and even save game sometimes. Anyone have any tips? I just grabbed a spare external drive I had lying around. I am sure it is 5400 RPM. Would getting a 7200 RPM help at all, or am I basically limited by the USB speeds. (It's a PS4 original).
