I bought this drive to reduce loading time and removed the FPS slowdowns in most games that I own in dematerialized. The result is astonishing, I have two PS3 identical in every respect to the exception of the hard drive, one has an original 500GB hard drive and the other to the hard drive, do not have day and night but almost load times are almost halved (especially far cry 3 dematerialized version) and lag are seeing sharply missing on the console with this drive.
