PS3 Help!

Due to get a new playstation just after christmas and i was ideally wanting to stick a 1tb drive in it. Ive seen a few floating about but im a bit iffy on the physical sizes of the drives.

Has anyone managed to fit a 1tb drive into one yet and if so which one because theres a nice western digi im looking into but it looks like its roughly a mil and a half too big to fit.

Cheers in advance guys

It needs to be a 9.5mm high drive. I'm guessing you've seen an 11mm drive, which from everything I've ever read is too big for the PS3.

13mm apparently i might be stuck for the moment.

I'm fairly positive that a 1TB hard drive is too big to fit in a ps3, i think i read somewhere a while ago that 640gb was the largest one that definately fit but my ps3 died shortly after, so needless to say i didn't get round to buying one.

biggest 2.5" currently on the market is 750Gb, think thats as big as you can go for the time being

the 750gb is the biggest to fit in atm i believe, like other peps have said the other drives are just slightly bigger
why do u need the size though?

Yes, it has to be a 9.5mm high drive, a 12.5mm drive will not fit.
Also there is little benefit going for a 7200rpm drive compared to a 5400rpm drive.
