DingusDog I have the 40gb PS3 that didn't even have enough space to install GTAV back when it was released. I've since installed a 1tb hdd in it. It mostly just gets used for Sports Champions with the PS move these days. Reply
bit_user I always thought Sony should've made a PS3 Pro. When you consider that the Cell had 3 die-shrinks (starting at 90 nm and ending up on 45 nm) and that the GPU has 4 die-shrinks (starting at 90 nm and ending up at 28 nm), I'm not at all surprised to hear the later revisions had enough headroom for such overclocks! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_technical_specifications Reply

I have a Super Slim and replaced its 2.5" HDD with a SSD. It was so easy, I was just annoyed with myself for not doing it sooner. The improvement in boot & loading times was simply massive! Sadly, I think the PS3 only supported SATA 1 or 2, so it pretty much didn't even matter which SSD you put in there. BTW, another improvement I'd recommend is using wired Ethernet, instead of wifi.
