Being that the PS3 is capped at SATA1, *any* SSD will cap out your data transfer rate. The biggest thing is that you're going to have a nearly 0 second seeking rate for the files you need. That's where an SSD helps out on a PS3. I picked up an old (used) 160 gig Intel SSD. It's only SATA1...
So, does a 7200 RPM hard drive really get that warm? I've never noticed it in the past, but people have mentioned that putting a warm HDD in their PS3 caused it to brick. I doubt similar issues would happen with the PS4, especially with how much venting it has in the rear, but you never know.
Question about those links. The Toms Hardware link references the 16mb cache version of the drive, and your amazon link is for the 32mb cache version of the same thing.
Are they the same thickness, or is the 32 a little fatter? If that's the case, we're forced to go with the 16mb version...
In other news, after reading your comment about PS4 only having a 5400 RPM hard drive, I saw this on amazon.
Amazon.com: WD VelociRaptor 600 GB Workstation Hard Drive: 2.5 Inch, 10000 RPM, SATA III, 32 MB Cache - WD6000BLHX: Computers Accessories
600 gig 2.5" Raptor (10k RPM). It's only...
Joy oh Joy. Amazon dropped this off today.
Sean's right. It does feel nice. It has some weight to it, and it sits more comfortable in your hand than the DS3. I might get a chance to play around with it tonight. Does it work with GTA5 right now?
Here's a synopsis of the latest chapter.
"Ha, that was a fun workout. Tell the team I'm on my way to win everything now that I'm much stronger."
"Oh shit, the other people, even the shitty ones, are super strong also."
The day 1 patch is currently available for the PS4. If you have one on pre-order, you might be wise to download it ahead of time and use a USB card to install it. That way you don't have to worry about the servers being super bogged down on launch day.
PS4 1.5 Update File is apparently up...
Yeah, I wasn't talking about her acting. She seems to know her shit.
Someone earlier in this thread (I don't remember who) said she was hot, and that's bugged me ever since I first read it. Not hot, no! bad.
The latest chapter of Naruto is even worse. It's nothing more than Naruto talking and Obito being attacked by the feels. infinitely-dull-no-jitsu!
Quick, shame him into defeat.
Here's a nice unbiased report about the current troubles with both the Xbone & PS4 as we close in on Launch date.
Rumored Xbox One Launch Issues Lead To Lots Of Questions
Dana was SUCH a frump when she was crying at the end of this episode. I never understood why people think she's hot. That scene definitely accented her unhotness quite a bit.
Chalky should have killed Eli a long time ago. Fucking psycho.
I'm really looking forward to Chalky wrecking shit now. And good riddance to the guy that tried to kill him. He's always had a "fake face" look to him. Like a mask at all times.
Honestly, I was thinking that Kansas was where Kentucky was. I've been to neither of those states, despite many road trips in America. Though I typically drive from Philly to Maine or Florida. I've also gone to Toronto once.
The layout of the rest of the country, with the exception of the...
Wow, that looks really good. I mean, omitting the skin gloss and texture, the fabric of his jersey looks real. It just looks a little too thin still. There's no depth to the cloth.
In other news, Amazon sent me an email today. I guess they're trying to catch up to Game Stop and other...
It doesn't "require" one. But it makes things nicer if you have one.
Xbox one doesn't "require" one either... but you have to install the day 1 patch in order to not require one, so in actuality it requires one to not require one.
Lenas, I didn't say they were bad. I said that in the ENTIRE commercial, those 20-21 seconds of footage were the only actual Xbox One things shown. It showed almost nothing for game play. Just a few extra things you can do. Isn't the biggest complaint against Sony's commercials that they...
The first time ever actually showing the Xbone is at 0:54. And even then it's just 4 seconds of menu. Then it swaps to a cut scene from a game for all of 1 second (after watching a guy sit on his couch). Then a girl scrolling through a list of movies with her mind for 4 seconds. Then it's a...
They already have a thread up on Neogaf about replacing the HDD in a PS4. Here's the link. Looks like a very easy process, not at all unlike the PS3's replacement.
Here is how replacing your HDD on PS4 works (ComputerBild) - NeoGAF
As of right now, we don't know how large of a HDD it'll...
I just heard that Game Stop is supposed to have 1 year PS+ cards for sale on Black Friday for only $30. I'll have to pick another one up just to have it for next year.
The first time I ever masturbated while someone else was aware I was doing it was in EverQuest. I was doing some random dungeon and started talking to a shaman in my group. We hit it off, and for the next week, we continued talking every time we were on. For some reason or another, we did one...
My PSN is Xarpolis
Update on my games:
I currently have Call of Duty, Need for Speed, Killzone, Resogun, & Contrast. I know that my mother purchased me a few games for Christmas using the target special about a month ago. I'll then have Assassin's Creed, Knack & Battlefield.
Happy Gaming?
