Cobra ode almost ....

Something interesting to share :
As stated, I experienced problems with iso's like Diablo ps3 iso and moto MX ps2 iso for example.
I found out that the firmware cobro ode 2.1 is the best for me at this moment with superfast loading times from usb ntfs formatted hd.
when using 2.2 fix it makes the hd reading slower with "freezes" onscreen. I have an 'old' v3 version board with Phat 60 Gb ps3.

Cobra USB Y cable corruption.
I was stating terrible loading times with CObra ODE. indeed the firmware update did the trick BUT
today I found out that the Y cable provided with the ODE package is not good at all.
ANyway i took one that i use with other drives and 'hocus pocus', loading times got suddenly even better, the speed of light ....say like 1 minute vs 5 minutes....
Sow, the conclusion :
- use that firmware 2.1 or 2.2 (test it)
- use a good Y cable(not the cobra ode) + extra usb power source for yr USB hard 2.5 inch drive
- and sometimes it is really usefull to rebuilt the ISO with the cobra tools.

Well, I hope this will help people to speed up their loading times...
