I run an SSD on an old PS3. It loads faster and loads textures faster. That is only advantage provided. Although as noted previously if you access the player lists you will lose that advantage.
I play with a variety of friends and one has the newer PS3 that only has 12GB of storage. I don't know what it is but one could add a drive to it. However, the friend hadn't yet he was very quick coming into the game. Most likely because of the same advantage the SSD provides.
Recall that Sony encrypts the heck out of everything to keep them thieving gamers from stealing their most important IP. God knows the PS3 UI is super secret. What that means for your question is much of the data is on the drive but is encrypted. If it is then it needs to be decrypted and that will slow up the system when it has to load the textures, decrypt them and install them in the game video ram.
If you have a SSD laying about. Give it a try. But don't spend much cash on it. Although my system does crash less since the change.
Good Luck.
And so it goes.

Since i have playstation plus and download games, i have a 500 gb hdd with 7200 rpm.
The cost/benifit ratio for a high capacity ssd is not worth it to me.
Most games have little tweaks you can do, you can turn down the graphics to a lower res and itll take less time to render things but then you wont see some things so clearly.
If you dont download gamesanddont take much space you might as well go for the ssd upgrade. |

if you buy an SSD for dust you spend money without any benefits.
PS3 uses the old SATA I port, a high density hybrid drive will saturate the SATA I port fully and be on par with the SSD and the hybrid drives onboard controller will fully control & take care of the flash rom thus it wont tear it out. not to mention that you save money.
the SSD will on the other hand sooner or later tear out due to the lack of support from the hardware and the OS. after a few months it will be even slower than the hybrid drive.

I use the regular Hard Drive.
Fastest time I've ever seen load in before me is typically 5 seconds.
SSD does nothing if your connection is good to start with.
This is not true.. I am not seldom waiting for at least 20 seconds in the warbarge. Always spawn first.
Very important if you are a scout.

The turbo controllers were a big deal with the Tactical Assault Rifle, though they nerfed the crud out of it.
Lag switches work in any game that has a network accessed for multi-player. The trick is simple yet seems to have passed many by because the Myth is that they only work on the host during LAN parties. Probably because that was where they were initially used/discovered.
I've truncated most of the rest of your wrongness for brevity.
Lag switches don't work in DUST. Lag switches only work on games where the match is hosted on one of the players' machines, like Call of Duty often is. The host goes to the lowest latency player, who then flips the lag switch so that the game is running on their machine, but everyone accesses it slower.
Since DUST matches run off of central servers, the only person a lag switcher hurts in DUST... is himself.
I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate
