Just an update,

I went with a Samgsung 500gb ssd "T5" and there was an immediate noticeable difference. everything is overall faster. BUT, it does not make you immune from all ongoing issues. During high traffic times in high traffic areas I still got the current invisible character load issue. it was for a shorter period (1-2 sec vs. 3-5) and when they populated they did so all at once. but, no real lag, most textures filled in properly and quickly, a lot more little things just overall better. Worth the purchase, more so than an xbox one x...and the value is there. $150 vs. $500.

.....so here’s the thing. The Xbox One x has a really fast internal HD, arguably 30%-50% faster than the Xbox One s so being it’s a 1 TB HD as well as the huge graphics upgrades, the sad hd for most isn’t worth a purchase more than the Xbox One x.
Just in discussion for this game alone.....I wouldn’t agree that the sad hd is the better purchase if deciding between the two.

Perhaps for those with the cash in hand for a one x, but for a gamer on a budget this season, I think just the ssd is a good purchase, and by the time my budget allows for a one x sometime next spring, I could probably find a used one for that $350 difference I saved. For myself, the immediate want to help with ESO's problems over a new system that doesn't have the lineup of fancy games yet, its the better buy. Plus, it would seem that the SSD is still better than the one x's HD so I can use it with the one x when I pick one up. Win win to me.
