If it fits without a hammer it should work.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

thanks but i don't know how much rpms it is,it does have any of that written on it

actually it should say its rpm on the label on the hard-drive unless he took/pealed it off. anyways if it's a 2.5 sata it can be used on any ps3.



almcchesney on 10 February 2010

if its sataII itll work, try it gently and no harm should come

Sata 2,5" 5400rpm. That's the needed specs of the new HDD.

LOL

@OP
any standard sata 2.5" hdd should work... but whats the harm in trying? you can only know by doing it!

7,200 rpm hdd also work... a good 7,200 rpm hdd is cooler than most of 5,400 rpm ones, so heat ain't a problem... see reviews of seagate momentum 4 and WD black scorpion...
