well fuck me, i upgrade my ps3 with a 7200rpm haha.

that 7200rpm are somehow bad for the PS3 is just a myth - the difference in heat output is miniscule

ok. I thought that maybe the voltage is the problem as the 7200rpm I baught a few months back is 1.65V and the default fat PS3 was 1.5V.

What is rpm? And you should probably go for the higher one because it's probably the best one.

Ever drive a car? Same concept, HDD are rotational disks that gets read by a needle, so supposedly the faster the RPM, the faster the drive, but since the PS3 has such low spec SATA connection, it can't even cap a 5400 RPM drive so getting a 7200RPM one would be a waste, you can only get faster and more constant response time if you get a SSD on it, which would be a complete waste of money.
