I have a 60 gb ps3 and I belive my Hard drive failed so if I where to replace it would a 200gb 7200 16mb work? I know the oem is 60gb 5400 but i am not sure about the mb's. any advice will be helpful. Oh yeah if u guys know a good cheap place to puchase on please let me know
mb is just the cache size on the hard drive, which won't affect its compatibility, and as far as I know the PS3 doesn't really take full advantage of 7200rpm drives so you're just as well off with a 5400rpm one, which will be cheaper. 250GB or 320GB drives should be around $50 or a little more, these days. Check newegg.com or one of the other big US sites...not sure on them myself as I'm in Canada.

No idea, thought I read it somewhere. A quick look just pegs the PS3's limitation at SATA 1.5, which shouldn't make a huge difference between drive types.
I was wondering if the 7200 would make load times faster. would it run hotter than a 5400 and also I think the oem is 8 mb cache would 16 mb be a signifigant inprovemant in perfomance

It would be faster, even though according to DJ_Lae the interface is 1.5 gb/s, it will still be faster.
