ok, heres another dumb question... the wifi isnt inside the hdd correct... i read on here i think that if you replace the sony hdd you lose the wifi..dosnt sound rightCIark_Nova

No it isn't right. Your PS3 has a built in WiFi receiver that's an actual component. Not a file on your hard drive.

I put a 320 gig one in mine, all the settings stay the same except you obviously lose all ur save games and any downloaded content so back them up your save games 1st on a flash drive, and redownload any content.Colonel_basic

Well, I'm a little confused by your comment, but by no means am I confused on the difference between flash drives (MicroSD for example) and HDD (Seagate, WD for example). You mentioned using a USB HDD for "cloning/backup" and I asked the question of whether or not that was stated above. Sorry to confuse you my friend.

P.S. Upon further review I see where you made the mixup. It's all good. I actually got two "HDD for PS3 Upgrade" threads mixed up.

for me particularrly.. the reason i wanted an internal is because its more "sleeper".. about the wifi, i know its separate, but i was also told that the programing is on the origional hdd... as of right now, i only have 3 games, and the saves are small enough for a small usb drive... so i just put my game saves on that... and then i know to do a full format..im not sure if the os is the same or not im gonna try some old posts... thanks for the help
