Stop cheating you no gungame losers. You Don't need a SSD to play dust this is just a sad waste of money.

Now I have a question as well. Why does anyone even need to buy anything to up grade their ps3 for one damn game? I played Battlefield 3 on mine which has a hell of a lot more going on in it than dust and never had a problem with the game. Seems Dust is the problem. I'll never upgrade this thing for one game even though this is about the only one I play LOL. I have a ps4 and waiting patiently for Fallout 4.

Once you settle on an SSD, you might also want to get a portable USB hard drive. You'll have to make a 32GB FAT partition on it so you can back up whatever you have/want to keep from your PS3. You'll also need to download a copy of the PS3 system file to install onto the new SSD.

I have a PS slim (later model) and it took minutes to swap out the drives. It was a bit longer to build the system files and transfer everything back from the portable HDD.

It was totally worth it. Everything loads much faster, from the PS3 initial start up to any game I play.

no ill just yank it out put the new one in and redownload dust this ps3 is only for dust it only has files on dust so i dont need to backup anything

Don't backup the system, but you will need a Flash Drive. To download this.

Make a folder titled PS3 <-- exactly like that
Then another folder inside of that called UPDATE <---- also exactly like that

Put the download file in the UPDATE folder and once you pop that SSD in, plug your Flash Drive in and power on the system to install the PSN operating system.

why do you have to all that? i didnt have to do that when i installed the hdd thats in it in it?

You have to install the operating system. Basically PSN OS is just like Windows/iOS/Linux in that it is the whole architecture to even do anything.

Have you ever replaced your PS3's HD before? If so, did you buy one specifically for a PS3 that came preloaded with the OS.

anyone whats your prefer ssd for ps3 and dust
i'm in the market i want a low capacity drive
but high performance

Would you not be better off saving the money and using it on an operation to make yourself sound less like a tranny?

I believe the PS3 can only handle SATA 1 speeds, your random access times would still be faster, but you would be capped at SATA 1 speeds (143 MB/s transfer rate cause of overhead)

Regular HDDs are much much slower, it reads/writes its fastest when on the outer portion of the magnetic platter, but is at its slowest when using the most inner portion of the platter.

Regardless it will make a huge improvement, I recommend getting a Samsung EVO Series SSD, I've had no problems with my 840 EVO when I still had it in my PS3.

Everything will be faster after you install it, you'll love it. On Dust you'll get into the warbarrage before anyone else, everything will load faster for you.

Funny though cause in the PC world SATA 3 speeds have already been surpassed, people are putting M.2 SSDs in their computers now. It uses PCIe "lanes" instead of having to go through a chipset. Look at the available bandwith of PCIe v 3.0 x 4(lanes), look it up it's insane.

you better watch you mouth boy thats my best friend you trash talking

you better watch you mouth boy thats my best friend you trash talking

Okay, let's make a deal. If you watch his mouth... I'll watch yours. But who's going to watch my mouth?

oo yummy ill watch your mouth

I'll be on UT4 in a minute ghost.

I'm in class right now lol. Speech is boring.

I'll be on at 9:00.

Edit: Mort come play with us.

oh its pre alpha build? fun fun downloading now names same as dust

I'm CST dude.

As of this post, my time is 7:50 PM

Upgrading hardware for performance isn't cheating, it's what any SMART person would do to enhance a legacy system for more optimal experience.

Unfortunately SSDs can only fix some of the issues that are caused by the limited technology of the PS3 in comparison to next gen consoles and PCs.

What you're saying is like saying "oh you broke your controller? you don't need a new one, just power on your machine and stare at your accounts."

There's this thing called a hardware issue with any type of computing device so some people need to replace parts. Why do you think Sony made it so easy to take the HD out and replace it? Because it's the one piece of the puzzle that is most likely to fail.


Some people have a PS3 only for playing Dust, therein they want the best possible experience that they can get.

The issue of Dust being a problem is and isn't true. Part of it has to do with the amount of content and a regular hard drive isn't really fast enough to pull the data and load that data in comparison to an SSD.

The Dust/PS3 issue is two sides of the same coin, depends on how you look at it. You can either say that the PS3 isn't good enough to handle Dust, or that Dust is too complicated for the PS3. Either way, both arguments are correct but your position of Dust being amazing vs PS3 console is old and outdated is where your viewpoint actually lies
