I recently upgraded my stock 40GB to Seagate 250GB
 Had to upgrade because games application data are filling up the 40GB  And the main purpose of changing the hard disk was to install Linux  QUOTE(PhoenixByte @ Aug 1 2008, 10:41 AM) btw, what is the price range now for 250 GB ones? Shops are selling around RM260 IINM. |

QUOTE(danmooncake @ Aug 1 2008, 12:48 PM) What version of Linux is recommended to install on PS3? Not sure. Currently having issue with Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Can't get the wireless and the latest dist-update won't let u go pass kboot... QUOTE(obee @ Aug 1 2008, 02:06 PM) theres only a 2 sec difference in loading speed between 5400rpm and 7200rpm.. too much technical stuff to mention.. google it, bro Yup, u can only into a FAT32 formatted drive and not NTFS. Not sure bout EXT3 tho. Just make sure your iPod is detectable and space is big enough.  upgrading 40g to 160g soon. and here is my noob question. can you backup your data into an Ipod instead of any external hdd? coz I've read somewhere that you can only backup into an external hdd with FAT32 format.   QUOTE(TheUndead @ Aug 1 2008, 02:18 PM) oh sorry for not being more clearer, which one must be used for the ps3? 5400 or 7200 rpm hdisk? or either one can? It doesn't matter. But I suggest 5400 coz a friend of mine told me 7200 generates more heat. Mine is 5400. |

PSN is PlayStation Network. Its like a place to do shopping for games and addons.
PS3 is using wireless/wired. Up to you. Have you done your homework regarding PS3? Please do if you don't want to get conned. Read the Beginners FAQ topic. This post has been edited by Cyphereza: Aug 1 2008, 03:02 PM |

Guys... for those who are upgrading their hard disks, make sure you guys BACKUP before pulling out the hard disk. If you pull out the hard disk, there is no turning back.
After you reformat, you can restore your stuffs by choosing System Settings -> Backup -> Restore (if I'm not mistaken).  |

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.
