PS3 & SSD

[Marishi-Ten]

I think that's what the hard drive is called, well anyway. I am thinking of upgrading as I am sick of the slow loading and extreme lag, but at the same time I don't want to spend a fortune on the HD either since I plan to move to PS4. My question is this, is it really with upgrading considering I plan to switch to PS4 and if I do what is a good inexpensive option? Thanks for any input.

I agree. Hybrid drives are at best a pain in PC's. On a PS3, I doubt it would even work. A straight SSD (SATA II or Beter) would be a better fit.

You indicate that you want an SSD to stop gap latency issues? The SSD will help you load zones faster (Mor Dhona to Amdapor Keep for example), but if you're experiencing rendering lag or network lag, the SSD can't do much.

All truth.

god do I need one of those for PC, SSD would cut down my atrocious loading times I hope.

It should. You might also try running the game in fullscreen mode if you haven't already. I haven't experienced the issue myself but it seems a few people have noticed significantly decreased loading times when choosing fullscreen over windowed or borderless window.
