What kind of Harddrive must i buy for a ps3 40gb model?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
All you need is a 2.5" hard drive(ie,laptop drives).MonsieurX9.5mm, thickness
For example, this sucker isn't going to fit..... because it's 12.5mm thick
I have two 500GB 2.5 Sata 5400 rpm laptop hard drive installed,
Seagate Momentus or Western Digital brands are the one I can recommend, I can see that your HDD is 7200 rpm, while I can't confirm that higher speed could be an issue over time, like overheating or HDD errors, the PS3 manual suggest 5400rpm speed instead.
Just a safety precaution. I have a friend who does have 7200rpm HDD in his PS3 and it's been 2 years now without issue, he doesn't play much often however.
My personal advice, to be safe, look for 2.5 SATA, 5400rpm speed.
