Hi everyone.
I'm thinking of getting a bigger HDD for my PS3.
Can any one tell me if there is a limit to the storage capacity I can go to.
I saw a video on youtube on how to change your drive and the host mentioned you can go upto 250GB........is this true cause i've seen a Western Digital HDD which is 350GB.
Am I ok to use this bigger drive or will it cause any problems.
Thanks

Is it a 2.5" Sata II with 5,400 rpm? If so, and the PS3 uses 2.5" Sata II with 5,400 rpm, what do you reckon the answer will be?
Try using the search feature, you will find that 2.5" Sata II HDDs goto 500 GB.

IT IS NOT a SATA II controller in the PS3, but you can use a SATA II drive. The specs say it is a SATA I chipset.

SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I though isn't it?!
That's what I said:

Sata II is a 300-vs-150 transfer rate with Sata I.

Yes, it was a rhetorical question lol. Why state that it's not a SATA II chipset in the PS3 as if to prove someone wrong when nobody claimed that it was?!
