What brand would you recommend me? And what is the biggest memory size available on the market right now? I'm using the 80GB model, music+video+game=not enough space. And if I have PSN games i bought from Lowyat, how would I get them back if its on a separate account?

pm me please

Must it be 5400 RPM? Cause I saw this YouTube video saying you have to use a 5400RPM.

80 to 500GB reporting in! Feels nice not to be so restrained by such a small HDD space, now i can install all my games!

Hi. Anyone facing this problem? Posting here as the other thread got minimal replies.

Cannot Start. The Correct Hard Disk Was Not Found

When it Occured : Was playing Dragon Age II when the game hang, and I did a reset. After reset, the error message came out yesterday around 1 am.

What has done so far : I've looked at a few websites, and all ask to do soft reset and enter Bios. However, following the instructions, I can't even get into the Bios, and the error message keeps appearing.

PS3 Specs :
1. PS3 Slim - Latest Firmware (3.66 I think)
2. 500 HDD Seagate Momentus XT hybrid drive (bought about 6 months ago) - 60% filled.

Other Notes : A few games hang on my PS3 happened before (Dragon Age II, Assassin's Creed (both II & Brotherhood), normally around 1-2 times after about 50+ hours of play).

Anyone who experience this, appreciate to share what you did. I have tons of saves and if I had to reformat the drive, would like to recover them first.Als

Also, I've placed back my original 120 GB HDD and they ask to update to firmware 3.66 - Problem is, when I put in the USB drive (FAT32 format), it keeps saying could not find 3.66 firmware. Do any of you guys face this issue when updating via USB drive to 3.66? The 3.66 firmware on the site is the same size as 3.65 firmware but can't be coincidentally same right?

Going to have PS3 withdrawal symptons soon  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

Oh yes I encountered that problem too bro, you just have to switch on the PS3. Hold the power button until you hear 2 beeps, that should reset your whole system. I thought my PS3 was dead when I saw that message, thankfully google was by my side again. lol when you reset it, you NEED to have the latest software update ready to install (ver 3.70 and above). Without that update, you can't do anything. The PS3 will give you a step by step installation guide, after the system has installed the software update, all you need to do it restore all your games and everything. Mines working fine, I'm playing away happily, but I forgot to sync trophies though D: lol hopefully you have all your stuff backed up.
