which PUP do you put in the usb drive? 2.52 or 2.53?

2.53 = 5b0e9d62ff6e9edc796db9a2916824f0
2.52 = e9cd7c268667ee695a708bf00c6853d8

verify the md5 of the file using digestit2004 or quickcrc or any md5 calculator/verifier

We can upgrade it without losing anything example like Psn game which we bought from PSN store...  right??

yes, provided that you backed up to an external drive using the ps3 backup utility. the backed up data contains all music/video/installeddata/accounts/saves/dlcs and can only be restored on the same ps3.

Any brand, speed, size is okay. Just make sure its SATA.
I'm using Seagate 250GB 5400rpm. Can't remember the model number.

I assume when you guys say upgrade, you mean you buy the HDD from Lowyat and manually upgrade this yourself.

Does this void warranty?
Which type of HDD does it use? Laptop's or desktop's?
What's the biggest capacity supported? 1TB?
*
1) it doesnt void any warranty
2) notebook-sized hdd (2.5" sata)
3) no known limit yet. upgraded mine to 500gb last week
