Lol PS4 and PS4 Pro SATA connection is routed to the USB controller because Sony didn't want to pay Realtek 90 cents to buy a storage controller.

What this means is that it doesn't matter if you connect a HDD via USB or SATA, it's still the same speed at the end of the day because everything is handled by the Fujitsu MB86C311B USB3.0 IC.

What you mean is transfer rate for USB ps4 pro is 5gbps? And sata port in ps4 speed depend on hdd? Like 5400rpm (100mbps) right? Because i want to make hdd extension 3.5..better load from sata port or usb port..which is faster load...

It doesn't matter like I said.

ALL storage is handled by the USB 3.0 IC on the PS4 pro motherboard. The bandwidth is capped at 5Gbps (which is more than enough for HDDs, but not enough for SSDs), doesn't matter if you use the SATA 3 connection or the USB 3.0 port.

Also, you are misunderstood that the PS4 Pro has USB 3.1 10Gbps speed. PS4 Pro only has USB 3.1 Gen 1 speed, which is the renamed spec of USB 3.0.
