Solid State Drive in PS3 ?

so here i was looking up hard drives. and noticed Solid State Drives Option

i clicked it.

  Drive Type:      Solid State Drive
   
      Interface:      SATA
   
      Write Speed:      up to 98 MB/sec
   
      Read Speed:      up to 170 MB/sec

ok that's wicked fast !

so my questions are:

1. is it worth buying and putting in a PS3 ?
2. would it be that fast on a PS3 ?
3. Safe for a PS3 ?
4. Would PS3 Accept it ?

DO you have $300.00+ for a SSD that is large enough to make it worth while?
2. would it be that fast on a PS3 ?
Yes, loading and write times will be faster.
3. Safe for a PS3 ?
As safe as voltage specs allow.
4. Would PS3 Accept it ?
Yes, but it has to be a 2.5" SSD.


Here are some upcoming products:

http://www.sandisk.com/OEM/ProductCatalog(1321)-SanDisk_SSD_SATA_5000_25.aspx

Here is what's available in 2.5" size:
The Intel 64GB X25-E SATA 2.5IN SSD DRIVE SLC Starts at $826.00

Axiom 128GB SATA SOLID STATE FLASH DRIVE ( SSD25S/128GB-AX ) - $1600.00

Samsung 128GB 2.5" MLC SSD SATA II Hard Drive MMDOE28G5MPP-0VA - $495.00 - Yeah, how can Samsung make a $500.00 drive -vs- the Axiom's $1600.00 price tag...

Intel X25-M 80GB MLC SSD - $355.00

SO, do you think spending $400.00 for a sizable SSD is worth it?   Not not to me..

Re: Solid State Drive in PS3 ?

I'm aware of the prices. i was wondering if i could get that performance on the ps3. if so a small size would be worth it.

heck put one in my PS2 that runs games off HD.

then it would be totally worth it smile
