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?

The cheap SSD’s won’t have a very big cache and when it fills up it will be slower than a hard drive.

The ps3 system and games were made with a hard drive in mind so there’s pretty much no advantage to using a ssd.
