Meanwhile...
This is a good Digital Foundry XSX video showing the load time improvements in BC games. Actual next-gen games will load faster than this, as the BC stuff do not use the full next-gen SSD architecture. He says that the PS5 will be similar, in BC you only get a regular speedup like this, and the special architecture that should really cut load times is only for next-gen games since they need to be programmed for it.
I have two external HDDs connected to my X1S, a 2TB and a 4TB, but I should get an external SSD for the XSX, I certainly can't have all of my BC stuff on the internal drive and for stuff I'm actually using the loading time difference is huge. There are two rear USB ports, so maybe keep the 4TB for storage and add a SSD to that as the main BC drive for things I'm more likely to use, and use that 2TB drive elsewhere? That sounds good.
