Choosing a PS3 hard drive

I'm tired of posting stuff in here, but I got nobody else to ask :evil: SO I'm kinda thinking of buying a new hardrive, BUT can anyone tell me WHAT HARD DRIVE EXACTLY should I get. PLEASE if possible try to give detailed information about IT because I really HAVE NO IDEA. :cry::twisted:

You need a 2.5" SATA hard drive @ 5400RPMs. You can get a 500GB on Ebay for about $100, and I believe that's as big as they get.

By theway I got 40 GB Eurpean version if that changes something

You want a 2.5" SATA 5400RPM HDD.

The drive has to be standard size (ie its height cant be larger than 9.5mm) otherwise it wont fit.

A 7200RPM drive will work. It will give you faster access speed but will also produce more heat.

You can find a detailed guide HERE.Oh and make sure you keep the old drive for warranty pourposes.

(if you have to send you Playstaiton in for repair under warranty you will need to put back in the original HDD)

2.5" SATA!

that is all you really need to know.
