Doubt so.
An external drive do for what?
And I'm with esmufc07, you're making a mess.

Well, it's too late now!
Redspoony, what do you want to do with this drive?

Do you want an answer or not? I'm going to shag a blow up doll soon, and may be some time.
Don't try and impress us, it is the blowing up of the doll which will take up 95% of your time.
Urgency is the key then....
Had a look at my ps3 and I only have 10 GB left....with a fair few new games I want coming out soon I was wondering whether I can expand it.
An external drive is only really good for media, it cannot replace the internal (the PS3 will not play software or do game saves to an external drive). I suppose you have a 40GB? You can stick a new one in 320GB for about 80 quid, that is the way to go.
esmufc07 here I think has not long ago done this, advice on pricing please esmufc07?

The price changes frequently though, I have seen it for £59.99, £69.99, £79.99 and £119.99.

Tidy, cheers.
Search around, any 2.5" laptop SATA drive will do as long as it's not in height dimensions taller than 9.5mm (I'm going off memory here). Higher RPM and larger cache the better. Many will say this is not the case, but as the PS3 goes on, I think that you will find it will.
I read a system update stopped upgraded hard-drives running at 7200rpm, isn't that true?
No! More FUD!
Do some research, there are plenty of threads and articles about it?
Word up Spoony.
I stopped reading this thread when people started slagging you off for not using some search function, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating info here.
The hard drive in a PS3 is interchangeable with various on the market decent quality internal HDs you would buy for your computer. I found this out on a cool couple of pages, the links of which are here:

The answer to your question is on page two of the first link - 10 PS3 tricks Sony didn't want you to know. It's tip 7 and says they recommend a particular Seagate drive.
Which is the best one to get now as mine is full as feck.
I see the one Elvis recomended on post 12 is down to 44.99 so i'm might get that unless there's anything better?

So, I've read that ideally you should stick below 7200 rpm, as in 5400.
I can't remember why they advised it.
You are saying this isn't the case?
Can someone look up what USBs are all about on wikipedia and post it here for me?
Eh?
Never mind.
Cheers Spammy did see that before after searching but didn't no whether to get that one or the 320 gb one as i'm a bit of a tight twat.

only problem is when i go to play games it seems to take longer to load the game, is this normal or could it just be because i'm downloading at the same time? Also if its not because of the downloading how can i fix the problem?
