I'm going to upgrade my PS3 80GB Hard drive with a Samsung 250 GB Hard drive but someone here tell me how much space will be available after formatting it. The Hard drive is SATA 1.5 Gb, will it work and does this affect the performance?

You should have around 232gb after formatting.

yea, that should work since it's form factor is 2.5" and it's sata. but i'm not sure how exactly how much space it uses to format, but it's less than a gig. so you will have at least 249GB left
