Install Samsung 850 EVO into PS3 super slim?

[hardware_guy]

Will a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB work in a PS3 Super Slim console? If not, what are some SSDs that will work?

SSDs will not improve the performance of your ps3, if it ever does it is barely noticeable. You are better off sticking to something like a 500gb hard drive

Samsung SSDs do work on it though.

Thanks for your reply, Reyaz123, and confirming it will work. My super slim already has a 500GB HDD. An SSD won't make a monumental difference for a SATA I interface-- but I've read many benchmarks and articles confirming the opposite, that it makes a significant improvement for load/install times. I know it would make better use in a PS4, however I'm not ready to make that shift yet as I have amassed a big library of unfinished PS3 games to play. Is it worth it enough to upgrade an aging console?

In all seriousness, it is not worth it to upgrade to an ssd on a ps3. You are better off using that money to purchase dlc missions for your unfinished ps3 games

Or save that money up for when you want to get a ps4
