Free SSDs to all active DUST mercs!
Looking forward to the hotfix info, Rattati and friends :)

That's supposedly a guaranteed performance booster as the textures are too big for the memory on the PS3 and are read from disk. SSD performance increase is stunning, can confirm. Are they easily installed?
Yup it's very easy. Just make sure you have a caddy - my old 60GB fat PS3 came with one as it came with a hard drive in the first place, but when I had to replace that with a 12GB slim model (12GB of flash as opposed to an HD) that model doesn't have a caddy. They cost about 3 GBP.

It's pretty discouraging when the lead dev suggests swapping out the HDD on your system just to get halfway reasonable performance :/
Half-empty / half-full. Better to know though IMHO :)

"Pretty much any 2.5" SATA hard drive will do. I picked up a 250gb drive for around $70. Hard drives have come down in price significantly, so a huge drive is pretty affordable. Its worth noting, all that you need is a drive capable of 5400rpm and 1.5gb/s. You could spend more money on a drive that's capable of 7200rpm and 3.0gb/s, but the PS3 will only utilize it at the aforementioned speeds, so its pretty useless." And if you have stuff on your old hard drive you want to save, you're going to want a USB hard drive to back stuff up on before installing the new one.
We're talking about the merits of SSDs, and whilst the throughput you're talking about can make a difference, and certainly cannot exceed 1.5GB/s on the SATA interface the PS3 uses, it is the access times that give SSDs a clear advantage.
The rpm (spindle speed) you mention only applies to mechanical drives; there is no rotation involved with SSDs.

Buy a 12gb Super Slim PS3. it comes with 12GB flash memory which is basically the sam ething as an SSD harddrive and the 12gb ps3 will probs be cheaper, if not same price as an SSD which are normally -ú1--ú2 per gig storage. i got a preowned one, unboxed from CEX (UK) and it was -ú70, mixed with my skyfibre dust is a completley different game, actually enjoyable. 10mbps upload works wonders
You're quoting SSD prices from a long time ago.
SSDs can be had for 25p / GB these days. Prices are still dropping too, and the rate is set to increase with 3D NAND tech.
