gud for u

worrr... u r being sarcastic...
maybe will upgrade once i buy new modem.... just wanna ask, u guys dl the demo using 1mb line?

No, he's being serious, "UPGRADING UR PS3'S HDD IS BAD FOR YOU"

For me, the average dl time is about 1gb for 3hours.....

My 40GB only lasted a few months. If you intend to download a lot of demos and install lots of games, 40GB will be gone before you know it. I use 512 line....1gb takes about 3-4 hours also.

just bought 320 gb seagate momentus at Rm265.. but now having problem to change the hdd as the damn screw is very thight.. got any tips?

same here.. my blue Philips screw that held the HDD became a screw with no threads.. frm + to O... .. bloody thing so tight. my heart sank cause i thought cannot change hdd forever.. thn i said FF** it la. i had to resort to a plier.. to twist it out.. thn jadi. haha

blue screw? i had no prob to open that screw, only the 4 screw that held the hdd with the metal frame.. haiya, need to find another screwdriver, only scare the screw become loose like ur case.. from + to O..

really respect la u can twist the screw out by using plier.. haha..

i had no choice ler.. its either i damage it or dont get the HDD changed at all.. haha i planning to keep it anyways.. so i dont mind haha.. can still screw la.. jus need to use a plier hahaha

mine the 4 screws were ok. only bloody blue one.

I had the same problem until i almost fed up using the small screw driver , then i take a deep breath, find a big philip screw driver....much of a surprise, it works

I also thought I will be forever stuck with the measly 40GB until I used the big philips screw driver

aiyo u all aaa,very funny la. of coz must use proper screwdriver. If size not correct then will easily strip the screw.

p/s : bro neoardi, klu screw driver betoi x payah amek deep breath pon

ooppss..sorry mod..i try to find this thread earlier but couldn't manage it anywhere..anyway i found the solution..now my original 40gb hdd can be use as external already..

by using disk management in windows XP

Hi everyone, i m planning to get an external HDD enclosure for my 60GB 2.5" SATA hard disk for use with PS3. Besides formating the external hard drive into FAT32 format, i heard that some external enclosure/casing for the HDD is not compatible with the PS3 (especially those that includes Y cable type). Any suggestions on which brand of casing is compatible with the PS3? Izit because the USB port of PS3 doesn't supply enough power to certain brand of external enclosure? Thanks alot.

y cable works for me.. the ps3 isnt picky.. so long its fat32. it works.. ok!?

yup, i just use cap ayam enclosure and it works..

Think I may need to upgrade my HDD laa lepas raya...

With several PSN games pasing the 1 GB mark and Burnout 3.5 GB plus several games got installation and add-on...I'm now left with 4-5 GB....

And this doesn't include any the videos as I usually don't save any videos...and only several MP3 albuls to play with Wipeout....

seagate the best...muhehehehehe

guys, just wondering, any of u experience some occasional squeaks after upgrading ur hard drive?

no, its NOT the clicking/grinding u hear when ur hard drive is dying, just like a soft mouse/monkey squeak (like..."eek!" for almost a second), but in a quiet room it IS noticable, even when some sound is actively coming from the speaker, other things etc. in case ur wondering, squeaks are randomly spaced apart(5 seconds to 1-3 minutes ...erghh) and soooooo irritating (since it was never there before the upgrade - 40g ps3)

thought the drive is failing (weird since its a new one, seagate, 5400rpm, sata, 160GB), but finally isolated the problem when i turned off the background downloads, no more squeaks....meaning that the occasional squeak comes when it's WRITING data to the HDD. weird ey? no probs when reading from the drive...

googled the net, found a similar guy with a (high pitched) small squeaky sound on the net, but dont know if its a similar problem....and no solution too. will probably try to switch back the old hard drive later to see if the sound disappears

opinions much appreciated

UPDATE: did the HDD swap, no squeak from the old drive. which leaves a few questions....new HDD problematic, or is it just some typical seagate 2.5" hdd "characteristic"? aiyaaa...so much time spent redownloading....(the backup option didnt werk for me)

Hi all... I don't seem to see the need to upgrade...yet. My 80GB only 80% filled. XD

Good for you.
