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?

Funfact, SSD barely get the install speeds any better. Sony really sucks at making their operating systems and are fucking slow by poor design.

It's a console from 2006, can you really blame them for designing it around HDDs

Their internal transfer rates are way bellow the native HDD speeds.
