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)

SSD helps with loading the graphics, meaning less frame rate issues.. It WILL NOT help with lag as that has nothing to do with connectivity to the internet. It is beneficial to switch to an SSD now because most HDD are worn down and have slower reading speeds which increases frame rate issues. Plus SSDs have dropped in price and is worth getting if you plan on keeping your ps3 for minimum two more years. One day, I would like to be good at this game

No reason the SSD can't be put into a different system once there is no more need for it in the PS3. As for read speeds, you won't hit those quoted on the PS3 because it's not a SATA 3 interface, but you will certainly see speed improvements when it comes to disk access. The amount of hard drive access going on in DUST at the moment means it should help quite a bit. I only have to sit in a static menu with one flashing chat icon to watch my hard drive light constantly flickering; it must be under 50% load whilst the client is doing barely anything at all. Mine is a hybrid drive. I don't seem to suffer from frame rate issues as much as others do. "Lag" due to network latency on the other hand is completely unrelated to the hard drive, and usually manifests as rubber-banding / teleporting rather than frame-rate drops.
DeathwindRising ROGUE RELICS 1	Posted - 2015.08.07 12:17:00 - [18] - Quote when people say the game loads faster. it means things like spawning in. ill spawn into the match usually before anyone else does. ever wonder how the points get hack almost right after you spawned in? they had SSD and were in the match while you were still loading. draw distances are increased too. you can see alot farther away, which is great for when youre sniping. SSD does nothing for lag though
Alcina Nektaria KILL-EM-QUICK Rise Of Legion. 108	Posted - 2015.08.07 15:16:00 - [19] - Quote 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. *KEQ Diplomat* Gallente Loyalist ... Come at me bro. A grenade to the head will most certainly get you dead.
