If you do not hack your console you are a lib.

If it can be hacked there is a good chance that I have done it and can help you.

    Yeah I've basically done this. Though I'd recommend a normal hard drive over a SSD, the PS3's SATA interface from 2006 can't really take advantage of an SSD.

        Nah it uses SATA I, tops out at 150MBps. You're right it will be faster on random reads and there will be a performance improvement, but it's not worth it for me personally. I'm not going to spend more on a SSD than I spent on the actual console.

            Yeah that will work perfectly. PS2 games already see a massive improvement in loading times on a hard drive compared to the 4x DVD drive of a PS2 at 5.28MBps, so I can't imagine how fast it will be on a SSD. You'll see the most difference in game install time, that's actually a huge improvement.
