Profcrab said:
I'm a fan of Seagate or Western Digital drives.

I give this thread a 9.7.

 

I really dont like Seagate due to their copyright practices.

Just go with WD, they are truly the best brand available.

How and where do you transfer all your current data before changing the HDD?

 

I put all of my save game data onto my ipod, simply pressed copy in the ps3 menus on each piece of save data, and it went onto the ipod. Then you can just copy it back to the PS3 later.

Any storage device (usb hard drive) that is FAT32 will work to transfer files

I have a 500gig 2.5" Samsung that I just put into my PS3 today.

Let the video conversion begin!

"is it a 2.5" ?

I think you are talking about a 3.5"

In order to put that inside of the PS3, you might have to do some customization. if so, then that is a very good price."

Seagate doesn't currently manufacture any 500GB SATA 2.5" drives.

I believe this is the same one:

HARD DRIVE

The specs show that it is a 3.5" hard drive.

If you bought this, then it is really the wrong size.. too big. BUT if you look on youtube: I know people have put 3.5" hard drives into PS3's.

I wouldn't risk it. But you could try.

oh, okay.. its a good thing you didn't buy it if you want to go the internal route.

A little bit pricy, but that is the one I bought. (500 gigs)

However, I did not buy it from the site that I linked.
