You are correct neither the ps3 or ps4 make optimal use of high speed drives or SSDs.

PS3 = Sata 1 port = 1.5 Gb/s

PS4 = Sata 2 port = 3 Gb/s

PC = Sata 3 port = 6 Gb/s

A SSD that is not sata 3 may exist but I have not seen one.

@OP

HDDs have caught up to read / write speeds of the SSDs that we were all installing before to optimize the game. Even something like this WD Black will perform as well as the SSDs that we all flocked to before.

My point is do not let what ifs make your decision for you as modern hard drive technology is far past the technology in both the PS3 and PS4.

They're out there. I have seen one that has a backwards compatability sort of thing. Forgot which one it was, though.

All sata drives are backwards compatible I am only pointing out that modern hard drives are all way past what even the PS4 has.

For the real PC elitists there is this beauty which has nearly double the sequential read / write speeds of a standard SSD connected via sata 3.

I have yet to toss one in my PC but I am strongly considering it. LOL Consoles.

I would be wary of putting one in a PS4 unless you only plan on playing a couple of games; PS4 games have a bad habit of having 40GB installs.

Samsung is arguably one of the best; it has different series though and as others pointed out it's not much of a benefit except for the lower heat. Corsair and PNY are also good brands as well. a few tests have been done and one of the most recent one I came across is at http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/03/consumer-ssds-benchmarked-to-death-and-last-far-longer-than-rated/ The intel one, while better than the Kingston new revision models, are still pricier and for the cost-to-benefit ratio a Samsung, Corsair or PNY would be better. I'd still go maybe hybrid or a red edition western digital for the PS3 if you're wanting longevity.

O_o Well, even Metal Gear Solid 4, which is a PS3 game from 2008 takes up all 50 GB of the blu-ray disc and would have taken up even more but they decided to cut lots of content from the release so it would fit on one disc. Don't believe me? Google it. The digital release version is probably much more compressed since I believe that is only 33 GB or so.
SgtMajSquish MLBJ Consolidated Dust 409	Posted - 2015.03.31 06:12:00 - [10] - Quote i applaud you for getting a SSD. Things in dust run far more smoothly/faster and i have had only 2 hard freezes since. as far as getting one for the PS4, i would only get one if i could get my hands on a 1TB SSD. However they run $450USD and i dont have that cash to spare currently. when looking for pricing remember that they cost around $0.50/1GB with a slight discount the larger you get. once again, I would love to get a SSD for my PS4 but cost will be the preventing factor as I refuse to go with a smaller SSD CPMs should stop acting like they have power and remember their true position.

I was still using computers without SATA, only PATA. There are occasional issues when it comes to mixing very old boards with newer drives but other than that it is all backwards compatible. Currently the only difference between SATA I and SATA III is the transfer speed itself which is why we can do things like put a SATA III SSD into the PS3 which only has a SATA I port. Why Sony went with SATA II on the PS4 I just really do not understand. SATA III has pretty much become the standard and considering the dependence on downloaded games that Sony is pushing for SATA II just does not make sense.They are attempting to cache everything on the DDR5 ram which is just weird as hell to me since SATA II can not even come close to sending through the speed needed to take advantage of the eight core architecture and DDR5 ram. Poor planning like this is why steam boxes and "PC Consoles" are going to put a huge dent in the console market in the coming years.

Reason: (my opinion) 240GB+ SSDs have more than one nand strip allowing striping of data like RAID 0. In lay terms, the higher the capacity (120GB blocks)the better the read/write times. Get an older SATA II (3Gb/sec) or cheap drive if possible.

Get an older SATA II (3Gb/sec) or cheap drive if possible. The only possibility I see of there being an affect there is the cache of the drive. I say this because the SATA I port of the ps3 is not going to allow for the difference between the two drive types to have an affect. Were the different size drives you used the same or a different brand? Personally I see the warbarge and am the first into battle and I am using a samsung 840 pro 128gb.
