PS3 2.5” ssd

[Galactoid]

Hello, is it possible to install a 2.5" ssd ?
If so, how do I install it once the ssd is in the rack? How do I put OS playstation on the ssd?

Just like any other HDD. Read the PS3 manual: https://www.playstation.com/content...ssories/cech-zhd1-hdd/CECH-ZHD1_HDD_IM$en.pdf

But bear in mind that SSDs are not compatible with the PS3, and will have issues in the near future: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/guide-ssd-for-playstation-3.42499/

what about 7200rpm hard drives? Where I live, 5400rpm hdd's are, for some reason, more expensive than the former…

As long as it is an HDD, everything is OK.

7200 RPM are faster, but run hotter and could make some noise. In my opinion, those are the best options for the PS3 as HDD heat is negligible and the CPU fan is way louder than any platter spinning at 7200.
