PS3 [GUIDE] SSD for PlayStation 3

AFAIK, these strange compatibility issues not affecting external drive, but only internal.
Thanks for info, I will add you later to the table.

What you can say about 870EVO in PS3 FAT backwards compatibile? Good or cause problems?

If you would refer to the charts on the first page of this thread, you would see two 500GB and a 1TB of that particular type of SSD on the "probably compatible" list.. Meaning that three different users have reported success (so far) with the Samsung 870 EVO..
 
Something I haven't seen brought up yet is higher RPM HDDs. I checked and 10,000 RPM 2.5 inch HDDs are still made, which would remove the flakiness of SSD compatibility/long term use performance as well as saturate more of the SATA connection.
 
In theory, 10k RPM HDDs should improve speeds, the same as using SHDD.

Problem is that PS3's GameOS doesn't implement basic hardware features (like SMART for example). Even less the data read/write strategies for better optimization and drive health on SSDs (like TRIM). It's really basic on that matter.
 
The questions however are:
  • Does 10K rpm will fit into PS3 hole? They can be higher than standard 2,5 inch disks.
  • What about heat producing? We want as cold as possible stuff in PS3. :D

Is that even a problem for a modern SSD? I recall reading that some modern ones can still perform TRIM on the firmware level if the OS does not support it, or that some designs might not even need it anymore.
