Is there a max HDD size the PS3 can recognize internally?

I was thinking of getting a 3TB HDD for my PS3 and hooking it up with a SATA cable. Has anyone done this and can confirm that the PS3 will read it? My 500 GB is full and I have been deleting stuff for a while now and I am tired of doing that.

i dont see why there would be any limit placed on it im assuming your going to get a 3.5 hdd and use a special cable that has a male end and a female end (if such a cable even exists) i would try it using a hdd you have lying about before going spending the money on a 3tb hdd incase the method of connecting it to the ps3 doesnt work

Xaos explained to me once why you lose more space the bigger the HD. I forget why, but the point is that is grows in proportion to the size of the HDrawsavon

yes you can install a drive as big as you want. What you have to watch out for is the physical size dimension height wide length
