Any chance of a guide showing how to swap the stock PS3 Slim HD for a SSD?
SSD and hard drives should be detected the same as of what the PS3 should see. You should be able to just follow a hard drive update guide and have it work fine. Good luck and let us know if everything works.
I swapped out the 60GB HDD in my 2007 launch PS3 for a PNY 128GB SSD. I didn’t do any speed tests as such but it is obvious that the game saves and loads in GT5 are very considerably faster. There are some YouTube videos showing no perceptible difference in PS3 performance with an SSD than with an HDD, but my experience was positive. It may depend upon the game but why that could be I wouldn’t know. GT5 was greatly improved, there is no question about that.
