Can you have an 3.5" internal HDD in the PS3 ???

i've totally forgot lol plus theres loads of 3.5" out there for cheap and bigger space

cookingfat · 2008-07-18 08:54:55

no it takes 2.5" drives

BCapper92 · 2008-07-18 08:58:33

I'm sure you can get a HDD case, with a USB lead or port? - Just connect it through that.

gazzer-2k8 · 2008-07-18 09:40:05

yeah ano it takes 2.5 and you can can use a HDD case but i want it internal owell looks like ill just have to get a 2.5 anyone got any reccomendations.

lildesiikid · 2008-07-18 10:29:54

u caann use 3.5 butt it will stick out http://www.ps3-hacks.com/2006/12/01/xec … yperdrive/

gazzer-2k8 · 2008-07-18 11:49:00

Unless your name is Ben Heck its impossible to put a 3.5' Hard drive inside a ps3...but they do sell a 500gb laptop hard drive that would fit nice and snug in your ps3 but its expensive...Newegg sells a 320gb 2.5' samsung hard drive for $109.00 i think...thats what i saw it for last

gazzer-2k8 · 2008-07-20 13:29:08

yeah actually i found out you can put a 3.5 in your hard drive it just sticks out

somegod · 2008-07-21 00:25:02

if you want to connect it inside the ps3 no, that is physically impossible at the moment, if you want to attach it to an external enclosure then your fine, this is ussually the best option, for pc or ps3, because its a great back up.

i dont kno if u mean externally just through usb but if so you can hook it up to the main 2.5" using a sata cable

somegod · 2008-07-21 03:28:30

at the current moment no, if somebody releases the adapter or such thing then ya.

Agh!

Not true. you can buy a cable online and connect it internally But it will still stick out.
the 3.5" will be like the Internal 2.5" and far as i know 1TB is supported

as soon as i find link I'll post it.

somegod · 2008-07-21 07:52:20

... dude , 1. how much voltage it takes, will effect system, 2. sony prob didnt think anyone would need 1 tb, so ps3 wont recognize, and if does, damn nice.

OMG what is this?

AN ADAPTER ZOMG amazing. but seriously ur another forum tool. u dont need the adapter and u can jus hook up a sata cable to the connector inside the ps3. dont tell me im incorrect.

1. thats y u have a external power supply for the HDD
2. y wouldint anyone need 1tb on a MEDIA MACHINE. if it was int for media the only people that would need a HDD over 250GB would be pro's. and YES, the ps3 does support 1 TB hdd's. altho an update did stop one certain 1 tb HDD from working (well atleast someone came here claiming that)

heres another picture cause for some people, words are too much, even tho they are on a forum.

and here is max console reporting it

Jawn · 2008-07-23 10:39:51

You Are Incorrect !.

LOL kidding. your 100% Correct
not sure if larger TB drives will work. never heard that it does.

jio110890 · 2008-07-23 13:00:55

i dont know about internal memory but i just hooked up my 1 TB external HD and it only recognizes 429gb of it...maybe its cuz of the fat32 format...i dunno...but this sux cojones
ok i found out why and i think its cuz i used swiss knife 2 format it in fat32 and in the process i lost half my space..not good,it split my hdd in two instead of one big partition...

AFAIK FAT32 can go upto 8 terabytes.
