Did You Upgrade Your HDD?

I went from the launch 60 GB to the new 350GB HDD I have in it now. It was not difficult at all to do there are many websites and such that give directions on how to do it. Only thing to say is be very careful with the screws DO NOT strip them or you are in lots of trouble. Good luck if you do upgrade. I have lots of multimedia stuff on my Ps3 from songs to movies and the 350GB is great to have.sumdumsim

lol...you sound like me dude!!! I started of with the launch 60g,I upgraded it to 250g...I have a ton of media on my PS3.lol...and as sumdumslm has said..WATCH THOSE SCREWS!!!

well i have two PS3's

60GB -> No changes

20GB -> 80GB

I have two 80GB (1 Motorstorm Pack, and one MGS4 pack). They both have their original hdd.

The Motorstorm 80 in my bedroom has 40GB left so its harddrive will last a little while longer, but it will probably need to be upgraded by this time '09 :D.

And the MGS4 80 is in the living room for blu-rays/Rock Band when I get it for xmas so I doubt it'll ever need upgrading.

I upgraded my PS3 hard drive to a 320 gig HD & I have to say it was the best decision I've ever made! Here are 2 links for the Hard drive. The 1st link is the actual hard drive I bought(which is now $10 cheaper from when I last bought it!) while the 2nd link is the same model but it has 7200RPM & 16mb cache!

In terms of heat differences between the 5400 & 7200 model is quite minimal. Not a huge difference as most people make it out to be. Just keep your PS3 in a well ventilated area without anything cluttering around it! In terms of loading speeds, it's minimal but a second to 2 faster with loading & installing so yeah..... Anyways, hopefully this helps because when I wanted to upgrade to a new HD I wish there was someone who went over this type of stuff way before I made my purchase.

Just choose either one of these Hard drives, get it, install it & you'll be set for the next year or 2 or until the life span of the console. Depends on how much DLing you'll be doing & such so yeah!

i have got the 40g one upgraded to the 120g one, i have 12 games, about 7 demos, 6 pics, 5 themes. and that's it.

i'm down to 80g's now.
