Hey I'm looking to slap in a HDD in to my PS3 when I go to the shops to get one what should I make sure it has ect. What’s the biggest possible size and does the size of the HDD affect heating Im guessing not. Also I heard 7200rpm can cause overheating Is there any decent HDD that wont cause overheating but I can get the best possible HDD, I don't really have a limit to what I can spend.

As for External I want to get an Even More massive HDD than the Internal So I have the ability to back up the PS3 and In the future a PC coming in at about 1TB and a 2nd PC coming in at 80GB, Id also Like a good amount of space left over. Whats the Best External Hard Drive for the PS3 ? Keeping in mind the Computer. I remember hearing it had to have its own power supply but what are other requirments.

Answer:
What about 10000rpm 300gb? Are you positive it won't Overheat my PS3 or in turn Overheat itself? Report Abuse

Answer:
Hmmm i wouldnt go over 7200rpm drives for a games console, they wouldn’t make a single bit of difference in the gameplay so why bother spending the cash on one.? the graphics in a console just couldt keep up with one of them. Report Abuse
