PS3 Hard Drive upgrade question

Loki · 29 Jun 2009 at 15:07

Hi

I am thinking of upgrading the small 40gb HDD to a 320gb version. Now does it make any difference if it is S-ATA or S-ATA II. Price wise it doesn't make a whole world of difference

Performancewise it makes little difference either.

Just get the biggest cheapest 5400rpm drive you can afford.

And be careful when you're undoing the screw, it's made of the softest metal in the universe.

I used this one.

I installed a Samsung Spinpoint SATA (1) 320GB 5400rpm one. I think SATA II drives still run at SATA 1 speeds on PS3 anyway and no 5400rpm or 7200rpm drives would reach the limits of SATA 1 anyway.

Buy the cheapest 320GB SATA 1 drive imo.
