I thought having a higher than 5400 RPM HDD in the PS3 could cause heating problems? Someone clear that up.

But this is a good post. When i get my PS3 back from Sony, the first thing I'll do is upgrade with a 160gb or 250gb HDD.

The specific model I reviewed Hitachi TravelStar does not cause additional heat. Its 20$ off sale ends tomorrow.

Others in the thread have reported no problems with other models too.
