theres only a 2 sec difference in loading speed between 5400rpm and 7200rpm.. too much technical stuff to mention.. google it, bro tongue.gif

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. icon_question.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

@ neoardi - Thanks a lot, bro. Lucky me I suppose biggrin.gif Will try it once I'm back from work.

@ lapaq - I think the 160g hdd i bought was around RM130-140. Dealer price I think. wink.gif

That is correct and that is why you need a3rd party software like partition magic to see other disk management utilities. I had the same problem untill i used partition magic and then reformatted it.

hmm. but i can detect my ps3 40g hdd on my laptop (windows xp) as an unknown usb device. no problems formatting it to FAT32 using disk management. didn't use any 3rd party software sweat.gif
