[quote name='lanzarlaluna']The internal power supply on my PS3 was a great idea, until the PSU shit the bed and I lost all my saves because I couldn't turn the damn thing on. I have since bought a cheap SD card and just keep it in the card reader to copy over saves occassionally.[/QUOTE]I recommend someone getting an external HDD on PS3, and do a system back-up utility every 2 weeks or so for safety. By doing that, everything on your HDD is saved onto an external, in case anything happens. I try copying my saves to a USB flash drive every 2 weeks or so (well, the updated ones) just in case anything happens. I already copied all my PS1/PS2 saves to a USB flash drive, PC HDD, and a CD-R so I'll always have them (I rarely play PS1 and PS2 games on my PS3, so I never need to update).
