Ps3 Hdd Upgrade?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, i was gunna upgrade my hdd in my Ps3 last night by swapping the 60gig with My second 160Gig in my laptop. Only problem is my laptop has custom connections, so i cannot change them.

Which hdd would i use for an upgrade? Im looking for anything 150Gig upwards. Has to be a UK website to buy from aswell as i dont wanna risk customs charges.

It needs to be a 2.5" Laptop drive, needs to be a SATA (serial ATA) connector. The older PATA won't work. most of them are 5400rpm but a 7200rpm drive DOES make PS3 faster.

you can go for it if u want, but most people r sayin its no point increasing the temp on the console for such a little load difference!

Yeah a 7200RPM drive does run a bit hotter, and I agree in the 20GB or 60GB issue that might be a problem. But in a 40GB or 80GB that run much cooler and have the same cooling system it would not be a problem.

Oki dokie. Well ive found a 320Gig from Dabs for ?108. Think ill get that.

Where'd you find that?

I want to get one in April, anything above 100gb would suit me fine.

I feel quite squashed with only 40gb.

For those that have put a new much larger one in, that's the sound difference like?

(why does that question sound rude in my head?:pp)

And a random different one, does the Ps3 defragment itself over time, or does it even need to?

Well williamhook found one on ebuyer for cheaper, and I am sure in April you will be able to find one in a sale somewhere online.
