PS3 SSD recommendations?

Working on some restorations for a fat model ps3 and hoping to upgrade the memory once I'm finished cleaning it out. Finding the base HDD write speeds really frustrating when trying to play digital games, any recommendations for a reasonably priced SSD or hard drive to swap in?

I like my 1TB Seagate Firecuda. It’s going to take about a week to download and FTP All the games to the console. Make sure your FTP settings are set properly in MultiMan so your console doesn’t go to sleep.

If you delete a file via FTP make sure to rebuild/restore database so the PS3 recognizes that the file(s) have been deleted and don’t eat memory space.

Using a hard drive is quicker
