(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I just put a new hdd in my ps3 and im installing my firmware but its staying on 99% its not frozen the circle loading icons still spinning around but its just taking ages any ideas ???

What size is the hard drive? It could be numerous things from rpm, capacity, Sata 1/2 etc

Yeah its out of my laptop it is sata 640gb

Nevermind done after an hour of waiting lol

Nice to hear sponge . If you have any other questions please make sure to post in the correct section next time and please feel free to make another thread if you have nay other questions.

Just keep in mind that to high or to low RPM's can run into errors later (may be irreversible {hard drive wise}) 5400 RPM is the standard for PS3, 1200 above or below may damage the hard drive, it's not recommended to go 800 over or below the standard. It will display the RPM on the sticker of the hard drive.

Whats the correct section ? lol
