Where should the game be installed for best performance?

I have been receiving different guidance from different sources regarding where Conan Exiles should be installed for the best performance

I have frequently seen FunCom Staff suggest installing the game on an external drive from improved performance,for example:

@Mayra

If possible, consider installing the game to an external HDD/SSD as it helps with loading times and stutters as well.

While others on this forum are insistent that installing on the console drive is the correct choice for improved performance:

@Jimbo

Even switching from external to internal storage I guarantee you will at least double your performance.

So, where should the game be installed for the best performance?

For reference, I am using a Standard PS4.

on your FASTEST drive whichever that may be.

Typically you would want it on an SSD as the stock PS4 HDD is one of the slowest ever made, hence why you have 3-4 minute loading times (instead of the 5-10 SECONDS it would normally take).

I don’t have a PS4 and I don’t know what the USB transfer rates are, typically you would only want it on an external drive if that can assure faster speeds.
The absolute best thing to do when it comes to a PS4 would be to upgrade your stock HDD to a SSD and that would give you the best performance.
