If you replace the internal hard drive, it needs to be a 2.5 SATA laptop hard drive. It must spin at 5400 RPMs. No faster, no slower.



If you wanna get an external hard drive, then just about any USB external hard drive will work with the PS3. It needs to be formatted to FAT32, however, or the PS3 won't read it. If you need to format it, you can use a program called CompuApps Swisskinfe, available for free at www.download.com, on a separate PC. You will likely need an external hard drive to back up the data when upgrading the PS3 hard drive.



If you have enough space, you can backup the PS3 onto its current hard drive via the backup utility and just buy an enclosure for that hard drive along with the new hard drive. The enclosure will turn your old PS3 hard drive into an external one.
