Would that one work?

It's a standard height 2.5" HDD so yes. Personally, for the extra $15, I'd just get a 500 GB model if you want to store a lot of media or never have to worry about space on installs, etc. again.

No need to format the replacement HDD when installing it either; the PS3 will automatically require the drive to be formatted once it boots up, so the only issue in transferring your old drive's data is having an external storage source to save the Back Up to (created by the PS3 Back Up Utility). For a 40 GB HDD, it shouldn't take that long.
