I do perfectly fine without 1

Your mileage may vary. I was fine before I got my SSD too. The reduced texture pop-in makes the game look better, if that's what you care about. And people are not lying when they say you load into matches 5+ seconds faster than everyone else.

I have started hacking an objective when my squad finally entered the match Lol

Is that true, bacuase i do not want mess something up :p

First generation SSDs were expected to die sooner than HDDs. The jury is still out on that since manufacturers don't accurately report their failure numbers. Tech improves over time and SSDs have been on the market for years now. Just make sure you register your warranty and you are fine.

For what it is worth, I have an SSD in my PS3 and have for months. There has been no decrease in performance or strange behavior (e.g. error messages, crashes, etc.).

Gonna back up and install this sucker today, will report on before and after impressions. Is it true I need to download the latest PS3 OS onto a USB drive then load that into the new SSD once it's installed?

Yes. You can download it here: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/system-updates/ps3/ You should notice an improvement in FPS on certain maps as well as less texture pop-in.

You'll load into matches faster, but delete all mail and contacts that'll help as well o7 CEO of Imperfect Bastards and NF -Heimdallr69 Steam - Heimpai

Some people recommended doing a database rebuild after installing everything. Anyone know of any other tips?

Daemonn Adima Y.A.M.A.H 569	Posted - 2015.12.02 19:23:00 - [8] - Quote I'm not sure if different models of PS3 have different hardware but mine can barely run Dust. I've had to drop the graphical settings because the video lag and stuttering became so terrible. Slow loading times, lots of graphical artifacts and many lock ups or hard freezes. My current gaming standard for Dust is pretty low so installing the SSD can probably only bring my experience up. Backing up my data, downloading the PS OS and waiting on my SSD to arrive then I'll post up my initial impressions. Everyone sings their praise so hopefully I'll find myself in a similar experience!

I read that you did have to download OS and do as you say there but when I put mine in it worked straight away. If you are using super slim you need a bracket http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FFB01I0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage >>>YouTube!<<<

The exact same my have happened to me when I'm installed my SSD. You should notice a good, not earth shattering, improvement though not the god mode/master race difference some jest about on this thread. You'll def be on the map before at least 14 people every battle now though... o7 Be just and if you can't be just be arbitrary.

Everything ran so much smoother and maybe it's just me but the game looked better. Perhaps this freed up some system resources that were bottlenecking gpu quality or performance. Either way I am STOKED! It was totally worth the $40. I suggest anyone that has $ to spare buy an SSD NOW! Even after PS3 goes extinct you'll have a spare SSD drive for whatever.

Well, as you'll swap the HDD for the SSD, you'll lose the data on your HDD. Maybe you can transfer saves (directly or through the ps+) but I've never looked into that. You'll have to download and install all your games again ^^ Port it now !

Even when cell failure occurres there are excess cells in the harddrive to pick up the slack, so you are unlikely to even notice. 95mil sp and counting Playing since 2013-03-12 06:21 Bernie sanders for president!

I do perfectly fine without 1 I only spent $40 for a Kingston 120gb SSD. I noticed a huge difference in performance, as my game ran horribly. The $ value compared to the performance benefit was totally worth it to me. It's almost like I'm playing a different game. On top of that, when the PS3 goes extinct, you have an SSD for whatever. Get an external hard drive reader and you can use it for any PC. Seriously it's a night and day difference. Maybe my HDD was on its last legs, because my game ran like ****. Now it's smooth as butter.
