will this hdd affect any streaming or lag issues for GTA 5?

I bought this drive so that I could more and install larger GB games. My brother used a bare bones (12gb) PS3 for years because most of his gaming was online, he says his game play for GT5 is excellent since he installed the hdd. I have since purchased more games for online play and have not noticed any change in game play speeds compared to speeds before I installed my hdd. Its a great product for the price in my opinion and has allowed me to enjoy a wider selection of games. BUY.

Streaming and lag are dependent upon the speed of your internet connection, not the speed of the hard drive. That being said, the hard drive is much faster than any internet connection.

This drive has operated perfectly. I do not have gta 5 but I don't think that you will have any issues. Hope this helps

I don't have GTA 5 but I've noticed improved load times a and no lag in any other game I have from games like gran turismo 5 and the last of us which is a digital copy. All online play has been great.

Yes and no. Streaming audio and most video should be OK... But if you want to play a hardcore fast action hi Def video game I think the lag and occasional choppyness will be a showstopper

Replace the hdd with an ssd and it will be more than adequate for gaming on medium to low settings. I suggest only gaming while plugged into an outlet though as power draw will be high during gaming.

As far as I know the hard drive speed is dependent on the hard drive not your PC so it should run at what ever the hard drive is rated at. It should run at 7200RPM.

I have had this for about 4 and never had an issue years i think and never had an issue with single game. I would say i have played a good 30 games on that hard drive with no issue.

Yes, of course,, for example ghost recon future soldier, gta v , sniper ghost warrior, call of duty ...etc ...is good hard drive

Make sure socket type is 1150 and it should work fine. Mine is paired with a gtx750ti sc and is working great. Get a quad core i5 if you plan on streaming to twitch.

Yes, not a problem at all. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro. Never had a problem. Best investment on my gaming PC I've ever made.

I would say this is an internal error and that the hard drive will be fine. Before playing your next game install to your console.

I also purchased this drive as an upgrade for my 40 GB "Thick" PS3 and have not noticed any performance issues at all. I would not imagine that the slower rotational speed and smaller cache of this model is the reason for your issues. The increased data density likely makes up for the difference as more data is read during each rotation. Additionally, this drive (or likely any current model 2.5" HD) is much improved over the stock HD included in the PS3. While not an expert on hard drives, I believe there are a few reasons that you mat have issues: 1. The drive may be hesitating due to occasional thermal recalibration. 2. The drive may be trying to read data that is magnetically weaker, has correctable errors, and/or is re-allocating bad sectors. 3. The drive may be accessing data in a non-sequential fashion (e.g. fragmentation, or remapped sectors). Those are just hypotheses, so what I would do in your shoes is take the drive out and run a diagnostic and/or performance tool like HD Tune Pro. A program like that (or similar) can do a sector by sector read of your HD and show both bad sectors, but more importantly the seek time for each sector. If there are several sectors that significantly under-perform, it may indicate physical problems with your drive or significant remapped sectors. Additionally, tools like HD Tune Pro (or even the freeware version) will show S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic results and health counters to show if there are likely any current or likely imminent problems. Hope that helps and good luck with solving your issues!

I haven't noticed it to be slow or laggy at all. I'm not a power gamer or anything, so if you are that might be different. I've had 6 windows working at a time, and noticed no problems.

Yes. I have GTA: SA on my computer which is running Windows 8 Pro...it runs perfectly, and without any incompatibility issues. The game doesn't have any lagging on my computer either.

not if you expect to do any graphics or game playing. the bandwidth is not sufficent and it is not driven by your graphics card.

Maybe try re-seating it? I popped mine in, and it has worked like a charm. It even says Microsoft on it when I look at the storage options in the settings. I have GTA 5 and Battlefied 4, too. (No Titanfall, though.) Maybe yours is defective?

Should run everything at medium or higher, at least in my experience. GTA 5 might not be playable though.

Hi Jim, not think you have any problems, disk size and connectors are equal, it should work perfectly.
