Harddrive replacement

I was wanting to replace my 60g harddrive with like whatever is on my old computer because the old comp is trash but i think the harddrive is like 200g+. Can i just use any old harddrive and is there a way to just delete everything on a harddrive so it doesnt mess up my ps3?

I dont think you can just use any computer hdd to use on your PS3. It has to be a 2.5 inch SATA hdd. There are some awesome deals on newegg.com for 250 gb+ hdds.hillelslovak

it has to be

2.5"
sata
fat32 format

prolly wont work because its a desktop hard drive? labtop, it should.

i put a western digital 320gb on mine yesterday and its working awesome so long as its 2.5" you can put a 320, 500gb in there.weaponx178

No dude, any other brand will work as long as its SATA, 2.5"... Western Digital, Seagate, I replaced my 60GB with a Seagate 250GB. That website they mentioned above does have some good deals.. and it will auto-format, you will be prompted upon installation. A very easy installgreggr107

Same here. I didn't do it yesterday. I did it about 2 months ago, maybe. Either way, it's awesome. Gives you plenty of breathing room for games that have mandatory installs. I got mine off Newegg for around $80. I also bought a 600 gb external at the same time for around the same price. They're both definitely worth looking into.

Do you think that replacing it would cause higher possibility for the dreaded yellow light or no change?Trickedoutps3

So would this be a good one?
