[QUOTE="Kemetman72, post: 80254, member: 1225"] There are no drives anymore that run at 1.5gb/ps except for the ones Sony gets. MY point is the only way to slow down my Samsung Spinpoint is to use a jumper. Sony said it has nothing to do with soeed. Let's say we got into a heated argument and no solutions or advice was given to me at all. There are hundreds maybe rhousands of posts that say anyting over 1.5 causes I/O errors and indeed it did. It would constantly freeze up on me. I am not spending another $90 bucks for another 1TB drive when I can just use a jumper cable. I am sure plenty of people have done it and in no way does this compromise any protection schemes the PS3 has set up. It's not like I am trying to mod my system to play pirated games...yet they said it's illegal because it's a mod. I told him to stick it. There;s now way the network would know any difference at all. Also this drive has been tested in a high-end PC and it is fine. There is a WD Scorpio Blue that people swear can slow down w/o a cable but I called them and even at Level 2 tech support they didn't know. It doesn't say variable drive speed. So Sony is really useless and the way their servers are and they can't handle a simple store kinfd of worries me about getting a PS4. I dunno anymore...anyone's thoughts would be great! :) [/QUOTE]
