SSD does nothing for Dust, it is slightly faster than regular harddrive for massive overinvestment. PS3 uses SATA I port, the OS does not support SSDs and the motherboard harddrive controller also cannot utilizize the fast transfer rates of the SSD. in fact a hybrid drive will be just as fast as the SSD and you will save alot of money. |

I would recommend not going over 500 GB as paging time on the HD side could offset your performance boost.
higher density actually increase the access rates

Put a Toshiba 128 GB Q Series PRO SSD in my friends PS3 for him, Cost him 80 bux on sale. Took under 5 mins to reformat and install the PS3 Operating System, Less then 2 minutes to install DUST.
He experienced Massively improved loading times, sometimes walking around in the Warbarge for 20 second on normal public matches. He said his performance felt greatly improved and the game ran smoother.
The biggest thing he noticed for an example of the smoothness difference. When you get the Victory screen at the end of the match and you'll see the frame rate differences as the game smoothes out on the normal HDD, it never was the case with the SSD, it was always smooth in the game to victory screen transition.
Also makes the ps3 so quiet.
a hybrid drive will be as fast as the solid state drive and you will still have the big storage volume of a regular drive for less money. also SSDs do not like high amounts of read and write attempts, the ps3 might tear out the SSD in a few months because the OS is not optimized for it.
I can only repeat what I said, SSD is slightly faster than regular harddrive for massive overinvestment. PS3 uses SATA I port, the OS does not support SSDs and the motherboard harddrive controller also cannot utilizize the fast transfer rates of the SSD. a hybrid drive will be just as fast as the SSD, you get boosted performance that does not rely on the OS and motherboard because it is handled internally by the harddrive firmware and the flash module inside it. you will save alot of money and get the best of both worlds. |

on the ps3 with the sata1, lack of OS support and with the old motherboard it is as fast as the SSD.
and btw 5400 is perfect for this drive because it would not get higher transfer speeds with more anyway. it does not need more than 5400rpm because this drive has very high density and if I am not mistaken this drive is one with the highest areal density that you can currently get. lower RPM also has other nice sideffects, like higher lifetime, better temps and power consumption. |
