[SOLVED] Would a 240 MB/s DRAM-less SSD still out perform the PS4s stock HDD which is 100 MB/s?

Basically I have a SSD for my Ps4 which has a max speed of 520 MB/s. I saw a review where someone put it in a MacBook Pro and got 240 MB/s since it is locked to SATA II speeds. The PS4 is also locked to SATA II speeds so would I still get the same speeds as the MacBook Pro? I also heard that DRAM-less SSDs can run slower under random reads and I play mainly open world games(mostly RDR2) and that has to go to the drive a lot to load in assets. Would it still be faster than the 100 MB/s regardless of the lack of DRAM?
 
Solution
Random reads will kill the performance of any storage drive, hard drives included. However, SSDs are still orders of magnitude better than hard drives for this sort of thing.
