New hard drive for my Playstation 3?

May be...

I'm looking to upgrade the memory of my PS3. I would prefer to take it up to 120GB since I have a 40 now and it's maxed out. If someone can give me a link and maybe some price quotes I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

The requirements for your new hard drive are gonna be that it HAS to be a 2.5" (laptop size, any one bigger than that won't fit) SATA Hard Drive at 5400rpm or 7200rpm (although 5400rpm is recommended, and is cheaper),



There aren't any specific brands that you have to buy from, but I wouldn't just buy ANY hard drive; Western Digital makes pretty good hard drives, and so does Seagate ( the hard drive that comes with the PS3 is Seagate Brand).



Here's a hard drive I found that meets all your requirements: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Western-D...



It has 160 GB, but is cheaper than some 120 GB ones I've seen



You're also gonna want to back up all your data onto an external hard drive or just a USB flash drive for the files that are most important to you, so that you can save it onto your new hard drive

PS3s hard drive is a nonpropriatary laptop hard drive. The only thing that you need to make sure is that it is the standard size for such a device. Some of the larger ones, usually the 500 GB ones now a days, are a few millimeters too thick and won't fit. If all you are looking for is 120 GB, you probably won't need to worry about that though.

what is this obsession about big capacity hard drive? We survived an era of PS2 without any internal memory. Just delete your unnecessary files (a.k.a. PORN). Sooner or later, your PS3 will crash (it happens to everyone randomly) and your HD files will all be deleted. So, you really don't need another hd. Just back them up if you can.

It should be a 2.5in sata harddrive. I don't know if its sata or sata2 but they are compatible. shouldn't cost too much. newegg.com might have some. I don't know. I'm a computer builder but have never really dealt with 2.5 inch drives. I'm used to the 3.5inchers. a 250 gig 3.5in should cost about 60 dollars but they wont fit in the ps3. thats the best price quote i can offer.

2.5"

SATA

5400rpm

thats all the requirements

order a hard drive off amazon, they have great hard drives and cheap too

i have a 320 GB one so i wont have to worry about deleting stuff.

use ebay or amazon to get a 2.5" SATA hdd. then check the ps3 manual or google how to change the hdd a 320gb hdd costs about 50 pounds
