Re: new hard drive
You cant have a 7200 RPM had drive for PS3. Atleast i dont think it would be good for it. 5600 is whats recommended

Re: new hard drive
Now honestly how much faster could it possibly be? I also heard that some games will crash if it loads to fast but I have trouble believing it.
Looking to sell my PS3 60GB Model. Check out the Buy/Sell Section

Re: new hard drive
I wanted to try a 10000RPM drive when I had mine, but the smallest ones are 3.5.
I think the biggest you can get in 2.5" SATA 1.5Gbps is 500GB with a 16MB cache at 7200RPM.
