4x blu ray drive in ps3

[jeegee]

OK, i dont often ask questions but does anyone know if it is possible to put a faster speed blu ray drive into your ps3? ie a 4x speed drive. Also if it IS possible, will it have the desired effect on increasing load times and improving streaming? Hope someone can shed some light on this:confused:

good luck finding a slot-loading drive. . .

hypothetically, i figure if he's willing to open up and put a new drive in, he's probably willing to make the necessary case mods if its not the same type of load

[jeegee]

so thats a possibly? lol, well thanks anyway ppl. Yes case mod is an option.

I'm gonna say there is a 99% chance that it won't work. Its not like sony just a blu-ray rom drive and stuck in the ps3. They have drives that are specially made just for the ps3, other drives will not work.

No, it wont work.

the ps3 bluray drive looks like it has a custom interface (or IDE - but that's slow)

it's probably 2 speed for the reason, movies don't need any faster.

Because of the PS3 is unstable, the lasers of it is need for a big quantity.

PS3 KES-400A has been tested with DVD9, CD, blu-ray. If you want to replace it, you can contact me to get more details.
