Next-gen lappy drives boost PS3 load times by 30-40%

Solid state memory’s clearly the way to go if you’re looking to carve precious seconds of your PS3 load times. This ExtremeTech article has shown that Intel’s new 80Gb X-25 solid-state drive can cut 30-40 percent from load times on the machine.

Install times were unaffected, unfortunately, as they’re dictated by the speed of the Blu-ray drive.

Don’t have a party quite yet, though: the drive’s $600.

Plenty more through there. Thanks, Engadget.

  1. 600 doll’ahs for a 80Gb HDD? Gettouta town!

  2. I can’t wait for these to come down in price. Non-moving, power-saving laptop hard drives for the absolute win.

  3. I’m with pat on this. I’d love to get my paws on one of these buggers, because I’ve played around with solid state drives in the past and I’ve read much about the technology. To put it in the current Internet vernacular: they are made of win.

  4. Would someone like to donate one of these to the LGA?
