QUOTE(sykhairuldin @ Jan 14 2009, 05:39 PM) newbie here. Mostly its wisest to go for the best gigabyte-per-dollar ratio when buying a HDD. what type/brand can you all suggest if i'm interested to upgrade my PS3. is there any guide here that i can refer on how to upgrade the PS3 hdd? Which means, currently, Western Digital's 320GB(WD3200VE-SATA) is the best choice at the moment, its going for about RM200 right now. |

was thinking to upgrade my 60gb to 500gb all the way. my 60gb only left 900mb.
my question: how much space do we need in the external drive if decide to backup a 60gb hdd? do we need oso 60gb hdd space for backup or the backup will just take an image of the hdd n compress it. thanks |

I think the last time I did it, you need as much hard disk space as your PS3 is using. Lets say your 60GB is used until 40GB, then you need 40GB. IINM.

It includes demos, trophies, how about save data and PSN ID? mine 40GB, now left few gigs only |

what 500gb disk you using? 5400 or 7200? I heard the 7200 will cause heating issues... can anyone verify?
