PS3 / PS 4 User, looking for an Hard Drive/SSD/Hybrid Upgrade

The HDD cache doesn't really affect performance as far as games go, just go with the 7200RPM.

Thanks.

The newer version was reviewed on IGN... but I figured if OEM is 5400 and the upgrade is 5400, you'd not get much benefit?

Mostly just trying to get over the huge lag issues from loading... and trying to avoid losing all my HDD to SSD cause I don't wanna throw a $500 drive in

I can't really comment on a 7200RPM HDD with FFXIV on PS3 but I can sayI've had an SSD in my PS3 and my load times have always been pretty snappy, and I've never really had the FATE loading issues most people do have.

I swapped my 5400RPM originally because I remember trying to play Uncharted 3 and things literally just were not loading it was that slow, I don't even want to begin to imagine how bad it would be on FFXIV.

Guess i'm torn between buying a hybrid, which is proven to be faster than what I got, or buying a cheap SSD, which is likely not going to have enough hard drive space for a ps4
