CS900

They are not picky about SSD brand. Just get 500GB to stay away from the 1 TB limit. I used PNY CS900 500GB. If it has not been done, I would replace the battery while you're at it.

yea, the PNY CS900 is actually a low quality cheap DRAMless SSD, so, it might actually be whats causing it. They are known to drop off terribly once they hit 50% full, and they have issues maintaining decent write speeds over long writes.

Just buy an ssd from amazon. So much better and faster installs. It's like 25$ https://www.amazon.com/PNY-CS900-500GB-Internal-Solid/dp/B07XZLN9KM

These hp laptops from that generation are so nice to work on. I would suggest that you get the t7400 instead, it's like 8-10% less powerful but waaaay cheaper than the t7600, that's the CPU I use on my Compaq nc8430 and it runs pretty great. I see that your model has intel GMA 950 integrated graphic

Installing it physically is pretty easy, if you are on ps3 slim you really can't get it wrong, and if you do that's actually impressive, just like putting a cube into a square hole I'd recommend watching mrmario yt video, he covered the subject to update all the stuff correctly on a already jb ps3 A

I had some success with ide2sat2 and PNY CS900 SATA SSDs. I think the Samsung ones work fairly well too with that adapter.

The pny CS900 has no problem yet it is slow but in simple storage it cannot be used in native OS

It was the SSD. I was using a Crucial BX500 and I found another post of a guy with the same setup having the same issue. For whatever reason, the SSD is completely functional, its just not compatible with OPL. I swapped it out with a PNY CS900 and it works fine now.

PNY CS900 SSD’s, 500gb or 1Tb work well. Cheap too.

PNY CS900 1TB 3D NAND 2.5" SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - (SSD7CS900-1TB-RB) https://a.co/d/4ZtDMVM This will do you well better, same form factor, should interface just fine. Edit: just saw not my dollars, sorry about that. Even if it is a bit more though, really get the SSD, the andro
