Howdy.
I've got an 80gb HDD currently, and it just doesn't seem like enough space. What exactly are the requirements for the drive? From what I can tell, just about any 2.5" SATA laptop drive will do. Is there a difference between running a 5400 vs 7200 RPM drive inside a PS3? Is there a size constraint?
And as for installing, I've heard the screws on the enclosure are in there pretty tight. Shipwreck mentioned on one of the more recent CAGcasts that he stripped at least a couple of them. Someone somewhere recommended spraying the screws down with an inverted can of compressed air to help compensate for the heat the friction will cause.
I've been eying a 320gb 5400 RPM western digital drive on newegg, it's only $50. Is this the best option?
Thanks guys.
