Harddrive Recommendations for the Playstation 3
Mel:
I am wondering what is best Harddrive for the Playstation 3 to replace the existing one as I am currently maxed out of storage space?
Arseen:
Normal laptop 2.5" 500-750GB, 5400 RPM.
Solidstate or higher RPM don't give any advance.
Just make sure that it's not too thick to fit inside.
500-750GB ones should fit fine, but bigger ones might be too thick.
Mel:
Is there a certain brand of Harddrives that is better then another?
MaSHoe:
This is the one I have in my PS3 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DVJJWQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
It is a little on the pricey side nowadays but I'd rather have 1TB to work with if you have PS+.
Typically any laptop hard drive that is 2.5" and runs at 5400 rpm will work fine in the PS3 (including the Slim and Super Slim IIRC.)
Mel:
I though that biggest harddrive you could use in Playstation 3 was 1 TB. I find that having a Playstation Plus membership that I have ran out of space on my harddrive really quickly with downloading the Playstation 3 games offered free on Playstation Plus.
