You are correct! Thank you.
About the board. So it's around 3 inch shorter?

That's good, and a bit expected too imho. However, stupid game menu programmers suck.My PS4 completely takes off like a 737 getting ready on the runway when I am in Assassin's Creed Unity's options menu.
Mine does that every few months, and in my case it's the side intakes that get clogged. Solved it every time with vaccuuming both sides and the front slits with a brush attachment. I wish they had real filters, but vaccuming the side is enough so I can't complain.
Newer games definitely makes it spin up more than first year games. Witcher 3 is definitely audible.
Surely there isn't much price difference on hardware. But given the new SKU is lower power, they may drop the old unit price £50 to end the line.
Indeed... How many platters are in the current 500GB drives?
I expect it to be just like all previous introductions of larger capacities - added value, same price strategy.
I read that only the new 500GB is the CUH-1200 with smaller board and lower power.
Apparently, the 1TB is still using the CUH-1100 internals. It could be a way to clear up production inventories of the CUH-1100 while the
CUH-1200 ramps up production and takes it's place in the channels.... then they'd make a 1TB based on the CUH-1200?

From what I have seen, the 500Gb HDDs in PS4s were dual 250Gb platters.
You're right. EG had called the 1TB lower power, but they've updated saying it's the same internals, just higher capacity. Only Japan is getting the newer, lower power models at the moment.
The HGST Z5K500 seems to be the first product with 500GB on a single platter. But there's a million variations of the 5K500, so I don't know if anyone dismantled the drive.

"Hitachi aims to blast one out of the park with its new 500GB single-platter Z5K500 – that’s right, 500GB on a single platter."
I could check if only I could find my original drive somewhere in my pile of stuff... must be somewhere in the bottom of the pile as it's ordered by date, newest on top of the pile.

My launch PS4 came with a single platter Z5K500 (HTS545050A7E380). I put a 1TB 7200RPM HGST drive in my PS4 and stuck the stock drive in an enclosure so it was easy to check.

All of tiger stock drives I've seen to date that have been swapped out have been dual platter drives. But it doesn't surprise me that there may be some more expensive single platter drives in some units, Sony would have needed a lot quite quickly for the launch.
oh so thats why your loading time is much faster than me
@hesido There's no such universal rule. Harddrive performance is governed by a multitude of factors, some of them reliant on software, some on mechanical factors, and some of them working against one another. For example: higher capacity platters are denser, meaning all other factors being the same, the head arms on average have less travel to find particular pieces of data, making seeks faster. However, denser data is more difficult to position the heads precisely on top over, working to make seeks slower instead...and so on.

I can't read much, but it looks like 8 GDDR chips, which is half as many right?

Yep.
