i have an orginal 60GB PS3 and in anticipaton of home and video downloads i was thinking of picking up a seagate barracuda 1.5 tb hard drive. do you guys think that's too much? I know i have to upgrade to atleast 320GB but i was wondering if that was too much memory for now. looking for recommedations as well.
probably, you could download so much with that and it will just never fill. I would go with 250-500 gb even then it's alot to fill, but i suppose if you want to seriously future proof yourself the 1.5tb is the way to go.
You'll get the most use out of an internal and the largest available is 500GB. Externals are only good if you have tons of movies from your PC and backups.
Well, I haven't filled a 40 gig hard drive on my PC, but then again, a thousand or two MP3s isn't nearly competition for 10 games that have 2 gb each install like my PS3.
If you are gonna keep all games installed plus download stuff, I'd say 250 GB is fine.
isnt it a good job u asked because you would have bought a 1.5tb hdd only to find its way too big to fit inside the ps3.
the ps3 uses a 2.5inch sata hdd (laptop hdd) as far as i know the largest they go is 500gb....so to answer ur question yes 1tb is too much its way too big to fit in ur ps3

Im pretty sure you can't get a 2.5" hdd with 1.5TBFlemmingM
While thats true, I believe its possible to use a 3.5'' HDD but you'll need to remove the cradle and modify the SATA connector a bit I believe. There's a youtube video of someone who's done it somewhere. But is it worth it? I'd say no.

I have a 320 but I say no more than 500 GB is really necessary
thanks for the posts guys.....i agree a terabyte is way too much.....i'll take jeremiah06's advice and go with a 320gb drive.gshell

Be sure to check the combo deal box because then you get an external enclosure for free. That's used for turning your old PS3 hardrive into an external hardrive for further use.
Well, who would want it (which should technically be everyone) and who would need it (which is practically NO one) are too very different questions... raven_squad
... .... Darn you! I can't even begin to argue with that! WHO ARE YOU?!

Yeah, I could've, but then I would've been compensating for having no valid argument. lol Oh geez, if any of my Gamespot buddies see this conversation, my "argue" rep is ruined! :lol:
Time will come when people will be laughing at how small a terabyte is... LP's & singles used to be cool, so as the cassete tape, aren't people making fun of those who still use 'em now... it about evolution, upgrading, like a GB was so big a few years back!
Depends how many movies you are going to hold. If you are stacked with movies and don't delete them, you can't go wrong with a terabyte. How much are they anyways?
