PS3 Users SDD

[kollwitz]

Solid State Drives have no impact on in-game performance.

this is correct.

A simple google search of Guru3d or tomshardware will prove that. Dont waste your money unless your looking for shorter load times, and even thats questionable on a PS3, the system was not designed for SSD's, the bios would have to support it properly for you to get the full benefits.

this is not however. it's not questionable. it's a fact that a ssd can improve load times on your ps3. google it.

also:

Well I finally broke down and installed a SSD to try to help the PS3 cope with all characters onscreen. It was such a pain for me to target mobs that would be invisible or the lag from fates. The loading screens are now 1.5-2.5 secs tops. I haven't been able to test the more laggy fates yet, but I've done a few dungeons and my performance upgrade is noticeable. The characters(npcs) still drop out to conserve RAM from a distance, but they pop back much faster when you're close to them. I no longer run to a npc quest marker and need to wait a long time for npc to pop. This applies to fates too where you turn in supplies. I'm still going to update to the PS4, but installing a SSD was the best thing a PS3 player can do to help their performance. I thought I've give some hope out to other PS3 users who struggle to do fates. I picked up a Samsung 120GB 840 series.

it works for FFXIV.

btw yoshi p himself stated once that a sdd will help.
