(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello NGU! I'm in need of help... I recently just updated my 80gb phat ps3 to a 500gb.. and I was running ps3ita 4.50 dex cfw on it and that's what I installed on the new hdd, I don't know if I had to do any steps before installing the cfw but all I did was in stall the 4.50 dex cfw without any steps going to 3.55 first or anything... and I seem to have some problems with stealth multiman 4.50.02.. I am trying to copy over some games that I have as a disk which are, COD Ghost, COD Black ops 2, COD mw3, Grand Theft Auto 5, Grand Turismo5 XL Edition, & Battle Field 4... I was able to install Black Ops 2 with no problems but when I got to GTA5 it freezes my ps3 and takes about 369mins to install... Please help... any help will be appreciated.

EDIT: and now im stuck in system file restore...

well its working now but idk if im able to play games or copy them from multiman... as I said up top on first post...

If it's able to boot to the XMB, I would suggest reinstalling Multiman, just to make sure the directories are created properly.

I did that. but it just takes hours or even a whole night just to copy over 1 game..... idk is it just the hard drive?

its taking so long to copy over a game from a disk through multiman or ps3ita manager.
it started taking a very long time after i upgraded my hdd....

I can't really help in that case, your old HDD may of had a faster RPM rate than the 500gb one.

yea probably, what hdd you prefer me upgrading too. a 5400 rpm?

A 5400 RPM drive is pretty standard, a 7200 RPM drive is faster. If you want really quick speeds, you may want to purchase a Solid State Drive, they use the same connectors so they'll fit right in the PS3's bay.

does it have to be a 1.5gb/s or anything? i have a 500gb 5400 rpm and 3gb/s but its really not that good....

1.5 GB/S refers the SATA connection speed. 1.5 GB/S is SATA 1. 3.0GB/S is SATA 2. I don't think it matters with the PS3, but the overall capacity can't be more than 2TB.
