HDD Upgrade Recommendations

[felixlighter]

I bought a 20 GB PS3 during the $380 Gamestop deal and now I'm looking to upgrade the hard drive. I've done a little research and I've seen the walk-throughs. It seems easy enough. I was also told to stick with a 5400 rpm drive because the performance gained by a 7200 rpm isn't substantial and it may produce more heat.

This is the drive I am considering:

My main concerns are:
Price (below $100)
Reliablity of the drive
Capacity (120 GB +)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced CAGs.

I think you've figured it out pretty much all by yourself. I've got the 20gb as well and think i'll be going up to the 120gb version of that drive.

Can you add one with out moding? Someone had once told me you could that they made it like that. I have not looked and the book is in the box that is under other boxes with junk on top of them. So it would take time for me to find it and then clean it all up. Thats why I'm asking.

yes, no modding needed, just be careful with the screws, they strip easily. i had to dremel notches in mine as they striped way to easy.
