ssd

So as not to incur any performance penalties or cause any issues. I never thought i would have this problem, especially since i actually buy my games, but here we are. I have a 1TB SSD on the PS3. To keep things simple, how much should "free space" say in system information so the thing is...

Hi everyone, You know, the Playstation 2 has low RAM... But someone seems to have overcome this... Also, you know him from the PS2 homebrew scene with projects like Athena, melonDS, and Enceladus. I'm going to talk about a mod I've seen for a long time but didn't take seriously, thinking it...

So i have a 1TB 870 EVO SSD on my PS3 Slim. I had no other choice but get a SSD at the time. So far so good though i do worry every time i install a demo or game i then delete. So anyway, one thing i noticed is that if a game crashes and on reboot the console tells me it's gonna check the file...

I've been sharing information with users on discord, and many have found it helpful - so I felt posting on psx-place to be a good idea. Throughout this post, are dozens of links to information, hardware, and tools recommended in 2025. I will continue to update this post as things continue to...

Hey all, I have been happily using my ps3 CECHH01 on my CRT for about a year now with absolutely zero issues. Only problem was, I could only have 3 games at once because I have the smallest storage model. So yesterday I finally decided to upgrade it to a 500gb SSD. The process was pure torture...

Hi, I have a phat PS2 with an original sata-modded extension bay and an SSD mounted on it. The SSD has been formatted using HDD manager and have a stable official OPL release. The PS2 and my PC are connected via network cable to my router. I want to be able to open HDL batch and install games on...

Hello, PSX-PLACE Community! I have a minor major problem with my PHAT PS3 CECHL04. A small history of it (for context, might be helpful): I bought the PS3 in february last year from a SH store website. I modded it using PS3HEN tools and a bit later changed into CFW. The problem is: Since I...

Hi all, TL;DR, been out of the homebrew space for a while and just want to find out the the correct things to do for maintenance of a CECH-2504B. Nostalgia got the best of me at the moment! I am comfortable with taking the PS3 apart, etc if it is comparble to building a PC in any way as I am...

Although Solid-State Drives have been with us on the market for a very long time, it's only in the last few years that large capacities have begun to become attainable for the average consumer's wallet, and thus have become commonplace in use. Is an SSD suitable for an ancient console like the...

I recently upgraded from a HDD to a 1TB BX500 SSD and I gotta say..... I have some weird problems. Lets start from the beginning. 1. I copied my files over to another PS3 using the Data Transfer Utility. 2. I installed the new SSD into the PS3, installed OFW and proceeded to then install 4.90...

What is your internal ps3 drive a 500GB or a 1 TB? What type of setup do you have to store your games? Do you have a large 10TB/20TB drive? Or do you use many drives in the 500GB to 2TB range? How do you organize your games? Alphabetical/Year of Release date/Genre/Games you play the most?

Hey guys, I have issues regarding installing new SSD. I have PS3 Slim console bought recently on flea market. Model is 2504A 160GB. It was never opened. Few days ago I have opened it and tore the sticker and repasted it with MX4. To me it seemed it was never used as it didn't have speck of...

Probably has been asked and discussed before. From what I understand regular ps4 has a sata II port and the pro a sata III. Does the ps4 have trim for SSD? I also ask this because 2.5 inch hard drives drives I think only go to 5TB. And a SSD would go all the way to 8TB.

I installed the grimdoomer OPL beta v1.2.0.1 months ago with no issues. I followed the instructions laid out in the Macho Nacho YouTube video . I formatted a Kingston 480gb SSD to exFAT, copied over a bunch of files and folders, put the SSD into my PS2 with the new OPL version, and have been...

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting and I’m currently navigating using an iPhone so it’s a bit hard to search the site. So feel free to let me know if this has already been asked or if this is the wrong place. I’m having a rather annoying issue. I recently bought a slim ps3 at a yard...

What's the best way to copy/clone a Playstation 3 HDD/SSD to another, most likely larger one? I'm guessing it's to use a computer, with USB3 (i do have a dual SATA docking station in USB3), but which software is the best for this purpose? Because i don't want to re-install the stock firmware...

Been doing some research on the PS3 Dev Wiki page trying to find an answer to the following question. Which of the following is able to deliver the fastest game load speeds; PS3 NetServer Internal HDD/SSD External HDD/SSD BluRay Drive I was able to find out the following in relation to the...
