The scorpio didn't work so well with my 80gb ps3, though it was a 500gb one.
Then I tried a 500gb from Samsung which worked better than the scorpio but stil not perfect.

So, finally I went with the Seagate Momentus 320gb 7200rps 16mb cache which works like a charm.

7200rps???i taught the ps3 can only do 5400rps?

I have this 500GB internal HDD:

But its £63.

The phat can do 7200rps (I know since I'm using one), though load times are only getting minimally faster.

Dunno about the slim.

cool,i have the phat so i might splash out on a 7200rpm hard drive,cheers.

Get a slim.

lol what does getting a faster internet connection have to do with upgrading PS3 HDD?

7200 RPS is possible , but i've read it isn't good for your PS. I would say some kind of Samsung 320 GB 5400 RPS.

I have a 60gb hdd and never had problems with space.
After I play the demos I usually delete it.
same for videos.

the hdd does the rotations not the ps3.
