I was looking around the forums and I couldn't find anywhere that stated the fastest PS3 model for speedrunning on here (so apologies if it is plastered somewhere obvious), so what is the fastest PS3 model/s? I tried doing some research but most posts on other places had a budget in mind, so if possible, a theoretically best PS3 and an affordable, and fast enough PS3 would be very nice; the theoretically best might be expensive, I would assume? |

For sly 2 CECH-A01 (B01 ; E01) W/ a SSD is the best for resets and such. However, second best I believe is any Slim ps3 w/SSD I only lost a couple of minutes over the whole run compared to my current PS3 with my slim and episodes you lose 21~ seconds max. Someone else might be a bit more knowledgable but, I think that should cover it. (Obviously an SSD only enhances these things they are not required for them to be fast I was just stating it so you knew) |

So the SSD will be purchased separately and replace the hard drive? And any SSD works or are there specific ones that are needed? |

Well, it doesnt have to be a CECH-A/B/E01. Every phat ps3 would suffice. |

What oggy said any big model ps3 is gonna be better than a slim I messed up on that info thanks oggy. Yeah the ssd is a hard drive you purchase to replace the hdd in the ps3. You need a specific size iirc it's 2.5 inch but, I wouldn't worry about an ssd until you cannot beat your time w/o one and really want to push the time lower. (Edited to what oggy said so there was no conflicting information - Zen) |

I am not yet going to purchase one or anything but I just wanted this information in the open since as I said above, I couldn't find anywhere here what is the best options in terms of hardware. I'll wait until I get serious enough (or if) to purchase all that and also korean version if I really get that far. |

the size of the drive needs to be 2.5 inch. Which is the standard ssd size. |

Most SSDs are very similar in speed, but there are slight differences in write/read speeds. We're talking maybe a frame saved here and there at this point, as most SSDs are pretty darn fast. I personally use a Samsung 850 EVO 120GB which has a read speed of 540 MBps and a write speed of 520 MBps. Nothing over the top. PS3 and then for the game &as far as I know we haven't done proper testing on different fat PS3s. |
