games external hdd

[nubie]

I have some questions here

some games are not playable in external HDD PS3 , need to move it into internal HDD for loading boost

most of my games are in folder format in both internal and external

some external HDD games are really slow to install if their need to install games data , main problem is my PS3 internal HDD space is kinda low

I'm curious , are change them into ISO will boost it loading or just same because bottleneck come from usb 2.0 speed in PS3 ???

I doubt it. the ps3 is just notoriously slow. it's very old tech. no matter how powerful the cell is, it's bottlenecked in multiple areas.

Install games data from external HDD maybe around 5 up to 10 times slower than internal speed , already test it in multiple games before

believe me, it's not that way when you download from the psn store. I've tested it multiple times. it's slow as fucking hell.

I usually copy those games into internal than install games data , some games that don't need games data usually quite good to play from external

It is definitely slower if you install game data to an external drive.
