@seamonkey420 hey is there any thing like a 750gb HDD 500 is good if not. please PM me a link or just the make and model of the HDD you upgraded to. i need at LEAST 500gb in my slim to handle hundreds of HD videos. ill subscribe if u help me ;)

[seamonkey420]

@demonsparkx i believe there is actually a 750GB drive out that will fit into the slot on the PS3. they do make 1TB and 750GB drives for laptops but they have more spindles and in turn are much thicker than the common 9.5mm. i believe the 1TBs are in the 11.25mm area; way too big to fit into a ps3. but its been a few months since i've checked :)

ahh okay sorry for the late reply, i had a mini portable HDD by seagate goflex i think it was, 500Gb 5400rpm i think, i took the case off and took it out of the housing and used it in my ps3 after i formatted it to fat32 and hard loaded the FW 4.0.0 through usb. 500gb ps3 works like a charm now, :) ill still subscribe

@killerz250 yes! i got an arrow in the knee comment. skyrim FTW!

@MMusashi420 i personally am running a 320GB 7200rpm in my PS3 slim. it actually got rid of my stuttering issues i had w/a few EA games like madden 11. :) i believe heat was the main concern from the faster speeds more than anything.

[seamonkey420]

@brokendrifter nope.. the harddrive in the PS3 is directly tied to the PS3 itself. the moment you turn on the ps3 w/the old 40gb hdd in, it would prompt to format the drive. only way would be to get the old ps3 up long enough to copy to a usb stick. :( sorry for the bad news..

[brokendrifter]

I was just wondering if you could help me with something, my old 40gb ps3 died a few weeks back (yellow light) and I got a new slim harddrive, now I was just wondering if I removed the harddrive from the 40gb and put it into the slim, would I be able to copy the saves onto a usb and then place the slim harddrive back in without worrying about damaging my new ps3.

Thanks in advance
