Basically, yes everything will load faster because the data is not stored in pieces on magnetic platters. The problem with regular hard drives is that data becomes fragmented so the system has to search for bits and pieces of the files. (Which is why doing routine file restores on a PS3 is recommended the same way defragmenting your pc is recommended)
The only way to truly fix your problems (as I was actually just discussing with a friend last night) is that you need to also upgrade your ram (easy to do) and also update your graphics card (not so easy because you have to be good with programming to properly write the code for your system to recognize the upgrade). If done wrong you will fry your system PLUS it goes against terms and conditions with the Terms and Agreements from Sony.
I just installed an SSD in my PS3. It does help load data faster, however the lag is a bit more noticeable. At the same time though, it takes less time to recover from the lag spikes.
Also, when PS3 becomes obsolete, just pop that SSD out and use it as an external storage device.

Lol.. Do you even look up how much one costs? You could save that money up and buy something worth $100 because if you spend anymore than that on an SSD it was a waste.. I bought the Samsung 850 evo on sale for $75 and at the time had fastest write and read speeds.. Don't think I could buy a good computer for $75 You know that a quality SSD is usable for more things than PS3 and is class above everything else when it comes to storing data? Where did I say otherwise? If you spend more to get a 500gb+ SSD than its a waste because the more you write on it the faster the lifespan shortens. If that's the part you are referring too.. 2.5inch SSD is only good for ps3 and laptops if you are putting them to use. If you use it for storing data why would you use an SSD? Waste of money for something to sit around with its thumb up its asz
SSD isn't a waste of money by any means. It eliminates fragmentation and lasts much longer because information is not stored magnetically so essentially can't "lose it's magnetic charge" the only way for data to go is for it to become corrupt.
Now what could potentially be a waste of money is if you don't know much about hard drives and once PS3 becomes so legacy that everyone throws them out their windows, you miss out on the chance to upgrade any new system with said hard drive or use it as external storage.
If they plan on keeping their PS3 for years to come it will actually help in the long run because old HDDs performance drops. This will give anyone the ability to load games faster and essentially save more data. (You can typically save more to an SSD than a HDD)
Edit: Oh and it's not just good for PS3 and Laptops. SSDs are just superior (which is why they cost so much more than lesser variants)

You all need more reading skills.. Never have I said SSDs are not good. I have one myself.. I know they are better you all just can't read and take it the wrong way. If you are only putting it in your ps3 it is a waste for spending more than $100 on an SSD. Better for those who can't read and comprehend.
Then can you please specifically point out where you said "it was a waste if you are only putting it in your PS3"

My question is 1 will this help improve dust and 2 what does it actually help with when playing the game. does it help with frame drops graphic lag and stuff like that or no?
Jack, please also heed this warning now that you have an SSD for your PS3. DO NOT use File System Restore because
1. There is no need to with an SSD. 2. It will ruin your SSD and eventually kill it.
