I'm going to purchase a new hard drive this next week, but I still have questions as to which one to buy. Both 500GB (Samsung/Western Digital) have good reviews. The negative reviews mention a "clicking" sound, but most of those users put them in Macbooks, not PS3.
1. Is that an issue in the PS3?
2. I've read that after formatting, a 500GB drive shows as 415 or 465. If I was to purchase a 320GB drive would I lose the same amount of space after formatting?
3. Which brand would you reccomend: Samsung or Western Digital? 500GB or 320GB?
4. When copying game save files to a flash/usb drive, does the thumb drive have to be formatted in FAT32? Is that something I do separate, or will the PS3 prompt me to do so?
Thanks in advance for the help. I just want to get a quality HDD and make sure I do this right. I've read about it for a couple weeks now, and I just want to get it done.
