PS3 Compatible SSD drives

[Tintorera]

I currently got my hands on a Crucial RealSSD C300 2.5 256GB SATA 6Gb/s wich I a hope will be compatible to my Fat 80GB Pal PS3.
I am wery exited to see if I will experience a dramatically reduced loading time in GT5.


After some browsing on the internet, some forums state that not all SSD's are compatible with the PS3.


Anyone on GTP have some information regarding fitting SSD's in PS3. Prehaps some own experience from changing out the drive.
All input is welcome


If anyone have successfully upgraded to SSD, post the specs of your SSD and I'll update this post to make a list.

The hard drive in my 80Gb FAT died and I replaced it with an SSD and so far it's working beautifully. I don't remember the specs on the drive but I can check tonight, provided I remember, of course.

First off, this thread I'm linking you to will give you a basic idea of what sort of performance boost you'll get.

And second, if I recall correctly Sony uses SATAII connectors in all PS3's to date. Which means you won't be getting the 6Gbp/s from the SSD if it works. You will at maximum be getting 3Gbp/s.

After installing my new Crucial RealSSD C300 2.5 256GB SATA 6Gb/s in my FAT 60GB PAL PS3 I got the dreaded "Cannot start. Correct harddrive not found"

Anyone know of a workaround for this?
