   I'm just going to say that NinjaKatana45's NOTE section is wrong... I have a Western Digital Scorpio 320GB 2.5inch SATA 5400RPM 8MB Notebook HDD installed to my (originally 60GB) Playstation 3...

   here is the complete data of upgrading HDD Requirements: it must be SATA-150 it must be 8mb Cache (very important) it must be 2.5 inches it must be 5400rpm Limitations: 20GB model limited to 40GB 40GB model limited to 80GB 60GB model limited to 120GB 80GB model limited to 160GB NOTE: If you exceed the limitations your PS3 will overheat and will cause too much noise and it will cause damage

   no it must be formatted FAT32. The ps3 has a format utility to do so. Hope this helps you. :)

   i was going to look at the origional one and see what the rpm is which is 5400 and compare them but thanks for the tip.

   Be careful though. Only SOME HDD works, do a few background checks on them. I suggest the WD Scorpio 320GB. It works and it's very affordable ($70 ain't too bad)

   the new 80gb ps3s do not have that. you have a blue screw and remove it and then PULL straight out instead of pulling the latch.

    i have a 60 and im still going to up grade to 250 . u can never have to much . though i also recommend to have everything backed up on an external hd ,just encase ur hd fails ,u dont lose everything...

    so people down load games and pic . movies .etc. also the new game r going to be much large so its a good idea to upgrade .but it still a good idea to have an extra external hard drive to have everything backed up encase your drive gives up

    can you send me the link to do with the ps3 hard drive because my system cannot be restarted,the system partition of the hard disk must be reformatted and must contains update data of version 2.53 or later. send link please and instructions.

    What is the original hard drive? 5400 rpms or 7200 rpms? It'd probably be best to upgrade to the same speed?

    This may not be the way you would want to do it, but you can take a smaller drill bit then the blue head and drill the screw out taking the head off.

    Is that a rhetoric question or are you genuinely that stupid?
24. Aniko, on January 7th, 2009 at 23:27:14 Said:
    which type of hard drive should u use? some say sata, but on the manual it states that serial ATA should be used. is it the same.
