hi wat u all do with the HDD? how come need so much capacity? thanks
*
Hi, r u a girl gamer? brows.gif

OK let me explain, HDD for PS3 is important because:
1) Some games need installation like the PCs do.
2) To store downloadable games from PSN.
3) To store downloadable demos from PSN.
4) To store videos (prefered HD videos/movies).
5) To store music (mp3s).
6) To store photos.
7) To store save files (no need memory card)
8) ... many other things

Just take out the old HDD, replace with the new HDD, turn on the PS3, it tells you press OK to format, wait...then finish. No Problem thumbup.gif

just upgraded to 160g (from 40g). Seagate, 5400rpm. everything is fine so far. backed up everything into my ipod  tongue.gif  the files saved, themes, wallpapers, pics, mp3s, demos, videos, saved game datas, PSN ID infos. it's so easy but time consuming.

offtopic - i'm having problem detecting my 40g ps3 hdd after fitting into a casing. is there anything i must do before it is shown as a usable hdd in windows?  icon_question.gif
*
You're in luck mate, i had the same problem before and this method works flawlessly: rclxms.gif

For Windows 2000 and XP:
Right click on My Computer.
Choose Manage (This will open the Computer Management window).
Go to the Storage category and select Disk Management
Right click the new drive (usually listed as Hard Disk 1) and "initialize"
You now have the option to partition and format the drive.
The default settings of Primary Partition and NTFS- Quick Format are recommended for most users.
But can use Fat32 to use it with PS3


Please tell me the result...cheers icon_rolleyes.gif

I bought a casing but my olf 40 gb is not even in the Disk Management.

I tried the hdd with ps3..no problem. I tried the casing with other hdd, no problem..

I tried other casing with my hdd, it cannot read..doesnt even appear in the usb device list...but its working flawlessly in ps3.. sleep.gif

entahlah..until now the 40gb doing nothing..
*
I also had some problem with the stock PS3's hdd and cannot solve it until now:
--My PS3's stock 60gb hdd put into an external casing (brand CLIPtec)>>can use with windows but undetectable by my PS3 sweat.gif
--after searching around the interweb, i can conclude that my hdd casing "maybe" unrecognizable by the PS3 ohmy.gif
--at least the hdd can be use with windows for backup purpose... nod.gif

I thought my external HDD didnt work with my ps3 but it turns out there wasn't enough power. Needed to plug it into both USB ports to work  shakehead.gif

I also tot of that but after connected both USB port also cannot use... sweat.gif

u can install MGS4 and GT5P in the 320gb HDD? is this possible ka?  hmm.gif  rclxub.gif
and one more question, after u install MGS4 and GT5P in the HDD is the games become playable in ur ps3?  hmm.gif
*
If u bought GT5P from PSN, then u can play it direct from the hdd, but MGS4 still need the disc to play it. nod.gif
BTW, PS3 will "reserve" 12% of your hdd space without any specific reasons... shakehead.gif

yes, just did. in the pass 2.5 hdd is more then 9.5mm which cant fit in the bracket.
my wd new 2.5 is just 9.5mm. i just bought my ps3 slim this raya from sony style after price drop. nothing 2 back up so just slot in the new hdd plus new firmward in a thump drive & that it.
not sure whether is 1tb problem or 2 large space 2 travel, after download, back to menu will freeze a couple of seconds. Then only can proceed to other. so those who interesting 2 upgrade may or may not encounter this problem.

2 large space 2 travel rclxub.gif
