How To Determine PS3 Drive Health

**omegatron** · 01-08-2011,01:42 AM

I am currently having issues with my ps3 freezing while playing various games. Sound usually continues, but the ps3 becomes unresponsive. I think this is due to a less then perfect drive being used.

I have two questions regarding this matter..

1. Is there currenlty a way to determine the drive health of a hard drive iwth ps3 proprietary format?

2. If there is no current appilcation to do this, is the project possible?

Thank you very much.

This might not be because your hard drive...unless you're talking about playing back up games?

if you're talking about regular games freezing it could just be your blu ray drive's laser about to die on you.

if it is backups, I would try using the options in Recovery Mode to possibly fix/repair
