HDD Help

By the time I can afford a PS3 in a couple of years, Europe will only have the 40GB available, slightly annoyed at that. But, oh well.

I've had this Hitachi HDD lying around for ages, my computer isn't SATA compatible so I've had no use for it. If I save it though, would it work on my PS3 when I get it? It'll finally have a use and it's 160GBs.

Would it work? And I hear you have to format it or something, how would I do that? Thanks in advance.

but one other thing you have to factor in is if it is a laptop drive 2.5" it if is a PC HDD it will be to big

hey Emitsu, if you get an enclosure for the HDD that is taken out can you just plug it in a place everything right back onto the new drive? you know instead of having to back it all up and all that?
