HDD vs SSD

SSD saves at least 3 seconds on each loading screen in the game which can result in minutes being lost just from loads. I was thinking about upgrading but what do you think the best cheapest SSD drive is I could use for a fat PS3 ?? Thanks

Idk too much about value and such, but I have a Samsung 850 EVO 120GB which I haven't had any issues with. It seems to be a more pricey, yet popular choice.

I use my self Samsung 750 EVO 120GB, don't know the difference between 750 and 850 tho.

Okok, If you want to run more than one or two games i would recommend 250GB.

For the read write speed you dont want to go cheap on the read, but the best case senario is to get a high read and close to the same speed in write. For example. a 500/500 would be decent, 550/530 would be perfect, a 560/550 is top notch.

To sum it up with ez, 250GB if you run a couple of games, and a read ratio which is 500/500 or higher

Personally i use the 250GB version of the Corsair Neutron XTI.
