Thank me later when it has out lived your PS3 and you are wondering what people were talking about when they said SSD did not last a long time in PS3s. |

I have been running on a samsung 840 for well over a year now. I run 2 of the same drives in my tower and the same drive in my laptop. You really can not go wrong with samsung when it comes to SSDs.
When it comes to Dust it does have a few hidden benefits. Thanks to the over whelming amount of models which have been piled into Dust there is a lot of switching going on in the ram. These models consist of tiny amounts of data meaning that they are not delayed by the sata I throughput speeds.
The advantage comes in the read times of the SSD itself.
A Western Digital 7200 RPM drive has a through put in the area of about 50 - 100 mb/s on reads.
A samsung 840 pro is in the area of 350 - 400 mb/s on reads.
The maximum throughput on sata I is 1.5 gb/s.
What this means is that with the much smaller amounts of data being exchanged for Dust you are in fact seeing some where in the area of a 150% gain in transfer times by maxing the sata I.
Why does this matter? Because since the addition of weapon based render ranges models are pulled into memory as they enter that range. Frame rate drops get caused by a combination of slower memory due to high load and by slower read times of the drive itself. |

Ghost Kaisar wrote:$90? I might order that when I get home. I've wanted one for Arma and other games for a while now. Screw the PS3, that thing is going in my PC. EDIT: Might go for a 256 EVO over a 126 Pro. Depends on how much I want to run off of it. My OS for sure, and a lot of start up programs. Arma itself has over 30 gigs in between the base game and my mod pack. From this it also seems like the EVO provides slightly worse performance, but still doing very well.
I would recommend the 256gb 850 which is $131. The thing I have noticed with my 840s is that their consistency over time has been amazing.
I am currently running 2 840s in my PC, 1 in my laptop, and 1 in my PS3. I have had all of those in for about a year now and have seen no fall off on any of my devices.
Whatever samsung did with all of the 800s seems to have them out in front by far.
EDIT: I very highly recommend you always keep enough space on one for downloads which you can then transfer to a secondary HDD. The increased write speeds seems to make downloads run much faster thanks to the reduction of the amount of data which must be buffered in ram.
Just something to keep in mind for getting the most bang for your buck. |

If somebody bought one and isn't arguing in favor only to justify their purchase, I would like to hear how they feel about it. The most concrete advantage I've noticed is initial spawn times, particularly in PC matches. Other than that, I've noticed very little effect.
Match entry much earlier than non SSD players. This can easily be used to your benefit in almost every match.
Much more stability in the messed up maps. The Gal lag facility runs perfectly smooth for me. The MCC map generally only kicked people that did not have SSDs from what I saw.
Very slightly faster PS3 start up time and game initialization. You really have to look for it on this tho.
Less heat issues with the PS3. SSDs generate FAR less heat than HDDs. I have a theory that this attributes to stability over long grinds as heat is easier moved away from the critical components within the PS3s very tight case.
Minimal benefits but benefits indeed. How much you feel those are worth is up to you but with the drastically reduced price of SSDs compared to back when I bought them for my PS3, Desktop, and Laptop they are very well worth it. |
