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. |

seems to kinda fit.
I don't know about GTA5, but in general SSD would be faster than a normal HDD + BluRay. PS3 uses SATA1, which provides a bandwidth of maximum 150 MB/s(SATA2 allows 300 MB/s and more modern SATA3 provides 600 MB/s bantwidth).
HDD used in PS3 slim reads at 65 MB/s and BluRay at around 9 MB/s(all PS3 models use 2x speed BluRay drives). That sums up to 74 MB/s read speed, which is almost a half of SATA1. If you run solely from an SSD you will achieve these 150 MB/s, which is twice as fast as HDD + Bluray.
And I say that running from an SSD will grant you 150 MB/s because of SATA1 limitations, despite the fact that modern SSDs do have both read and write speed of over 500 MB/s |

Its Huge in FF14 with render times, it helps massively with frame rates in skyrim.. but it only helps with load times in DUST ;)
^ This is the only reason I'm getting one for my eventual PS4. Since I bought the PS3 CE of FFXIV I get the PS4 version free when it releases. So I'll be saving up for a PS4 and an SSHD for it. So if DUST ever moves over to PS4 then I'll be set indirectly. I personally don't think its worth it for DUST. Advantageous sure, but my bullets will hit you all the same with or without it. That's my opinion though. Nothing more.

You would think that PS4 is the second coming of Jesus to some folks.
But I want a SSD. I'm realizing the competitive benefits of it.

The game still seems to run smoother for me with the SSD. And when my squad is yelling about rubber banding or lag, I can tell something is going on, but I'm not nearly as affected. |

Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch ST1000LM014 is might only be 5400RPM but being a Hybrid it's pretty good and cheap $100
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Solid-Hybrid-2-5-Inch-ST1000LM014/dp/B00B99JUBQ
It's better than a HDD and not as fast as a pure SSD but 1T which works well as a Hybrid SSHD for ONLY $100 is decent

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. |

Ye but this one is more for the PS4 even if fine for the PS3 , U X on the PS4 most games are 40+ GB in size, 1TB will be useful
