Xbox One X with internal SSD coming soon.

Ok, two things.

1: It isn't April 1st and hasn't been for two weeks......................so welcome to two weeks ago.

2: If they did do an SSD version, the internal HDD would be tiny (maybe 250GB if your lucky) or it would be really expensive.

For example, a 1TB internal HDD is roughly £35, you cant get an SDD for that, the cheapest is roughly £60 for 250GB. To get a 1TB SDD you are looking at between £200 and £300.

You can get SSD's for NZ$400 for a 960GB one, NZ$200 for a 240GB one, and NZ$260 for a 500GB cone. And..... it's still April. So you can fool people IN April, time to be jolly. But thanks for clicking on my thread. And those prices include GST which are
also sold in my country.

I have an Xbox One X and it does have a 7200RPM HDD. Well that is at least some improvement from the 5400RPM other consoles (including Xbox 360, though Xbox 360 still starts up faster since it's OS isn't bloated by Windows 10 stuff). It takes about 50 seconds
for my X console to boot up. And I don't leave my console on 24/7/365. My custom PC only takes 5 seconds to boot up. No moving parts like mechanical 1990's HDD's, and they're smaller too. Granted SSD's have a limit of the number of reads and writes they can
do. Samsung offers a 5 year warranty on my SSD in my custom desktop. SSD's are just so much more efficient in terms of booting up, saving (takes like a split second to save), and loading (e.g. Final Fantasy XIII takes only 2 seconds to load a save game, where
as the same game on my Xbox 360 Slim console took 22 seconds to load the save file). Since Xbox One X has a 7200rpm drive, it is..... bearable...... and an improvement which I'm fine with.

Xbox One X on average takes about 40 seconds to boot up and reach the dashboard home screen. An SSD can do it in 4 seconds. THAT.... is the advantage of an SSD. It's incredibly fast and convenient too.

2: Your custom PC, does it by chance run Windows 10? With Windows 10 (and I think Windows 8)

your computer doesn't shut down fully, the kernel session isn't closed, instead its just hibernated. Its a very similar way to the Xbox One using "low power mode" in low power mode it takes roughly 5 - 10 seconds to boot up your console.

But lets say that Microsoft does include an Xbox One X with in internal SSD, a standard Xbox One X with 3 games costs roughly $750 and lets for arguments sake Microsoft gets a really good deal on SSD drives. So for a 1TB to us costs $960, but Microsoft
gets them for half that. Are you really saying you would buy an Xbox One X for $1230? (im sticking with the 1TB SSD to keep it fair)

I turn my custom desktop PC, off at the wall before I go to bed every night. When I turn it back on at the wall each following day, it only takes 4-8 seconds to boot. It's a good SSD and that's the benefit of SSD. Yes it's more expensive than old mechanical
HDD's, but it adds a lot more convenience to the user cause fact it is capable of booting up, saving, and loading, way quicker (at least 2x quicker even more) than even a 5400rpm and 7200rpm which is still slower. And yes my PC has Windows 10. It's not exactly
like my PC has a secret battery inside that keeps it powered 24/7/365.

It's Microsoft's birthday.... pass the message on.... got to have some fun....

Two things:

1: The custom for April fools is that is done on APRIL THE 1st, not anytime throughout April. That's why its called
APRIL FOOLS DAY not April fools month.

SSDs are way too expensive to provide a good price to performance ratio at the moment I agree. SSHDs are far better value for money, even if they don't provide the same sort of speed boost at startup.

Also the in game benefit of an SSD is almost non-existent. Very few games load directly from the drive these days, loading first into the RAM instead. You won't see a difference in FPS and loading times will get a marginal speedup but nothing that would warrant
the higher price of an SSD.

To be honest I've always wondered why bootup time is mentioned so much in relation to SSDs. Just how often are people starting and shutting down and then restarting again to make a few extra seconds that important? Also Windows 10 when you tell it to shutdown
doesn't fully shutdown your system on PC, instead it goes into a low power state very similar to Hibernate or Sleep mode, so you get similar startup times no matter the boot device you are using because the system is being held in RAM.

Boot up time on my Xbox One is only a few seconds anyway, only once in a while do I do a full restart.
