What benefits do the Xbox One SSD drives offer?

The Shadow Mini for Xbox One utilizes mSATA solid state memory in order to provide the fastest performance available. It is capable of reaching speeds of over 400 MB/sec, resulting in up to 60% faster load times when compared to the Xbox One's internal hard drive.

The biggest differences will be seen in load time performances in open world games like Fallout 4 or Grand Theft Auto V. It may also help with overall performance, as the system will be able to load graphical assets on the fly much faster than a traditional hard drive.

Some games will see little or no difference in performance between the solid state drive and a traditional hard drive.

Below is an example of the benefits of Shadow Mini for Xbox One in Fallout 4.
