Is there any advantages of accessing your PS3 harddrive on the PC?

[barham]

Isn't it same as like to use FTP with multiman?

I suppose faster read/write rates is an advantage of using ps3 hdd on PC.

I guess we could also extract our act.dat and riff files from newer DLC/games, as PSN is off limits for CFW, and maybe some savegame injection (mostly for copy-protected saves)

Plenty of advantages for those with SATA to USB cables or a HDD casing which uses USB as the power source. Means you can take the drive out, back-up the harddrive quicker without FTP connection, add/remove back-up games quicker and easier. For developers, they'll be able to access files faster.

If a perfect image of the drive can be made, shouldn't have any issues with transferring everything to the new/larger drive without having to install the firmware all over again or for those who have a YLOD, can transfer the data from one drive to a new drive without losing anything or having to start over.

These are just guesses and possibilities.

This could also allow OFW ps3's to enjoy free PSN games.

Think this will also allow us to obtain rosters via the hdd? An example being that an OFW system downloads rosters, and we extract from the hdd and copy to other PS3's........would be cool.

i think this is pretty big because i'm sure there is stuff we could really do with this. we could really look at firmwares and stuff

I don't think any part of the firmware is on the hdd, I think it is on the nand/nor chips.
