I want to talk about this particular aspect of the next generation of consoles.
Considering that a mass storage is needed, for marketing o real use, and that the instalation/caching will be needed due to inevitably slow storage media, what are the real pros and cons of the inclusion of an ssd?
It must not be the fastest and the biggest, for pricing reasons, but good enought to be faster than a regular hdd.
Think about an api that let you cache the data in a fast large (8GB?) and relatively cheap memory from the BR-Next or from the installation in the regular hdd.
Will be redundant? Or a natural step between hdd/mediadisc and the memory?
