(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); OK well basically I want to upgrade my crappy 20gig ps3 to a Hitachi 7K1000.C 0F10379 Deskstar Hard Drive - 250GB, 3.5", 7200 RPM, SATA 3G, 8MB Cache.

will it work and I heard that that the 7200RPM will make my ps3 over heat faster. Is there a way to make it well not over heat so fast? :megusta: Thanks in advance.

The standard HDD that comes with your PS3 is 5400 rpm -- not bad, but not the best on the market. We've stumbled across a write-up detailing the addition of a different hard drive, running at 7200 rpm, and its effect on a various array of games and other such things. While we wouldn't recommend you all rush out and do this, as long-term effects can't possibly be gauged just yet, it's still interesting to consider the ways Sony fans can customize their console to be unique. We'll outline the results below.

Temperature testing against the two hard drives yielded a minimal difference; no overheating will occur with a 7200 rpm drive, ostensibly.
Installing demos after downloading off the PSN had an average of ten seconds shaved off due to the higher rpm drive, except that Tony Hawk demo, with destroyed over forty seconds of install time. Impressive.
Loading games generally yielded minimal results, unless you consider 2 seconds of load time a big deal.

No no no 3.5" will not fit! You need 2.5"

You need a 2.5inch SATA

wont workk, as said above you need 2.5 inch

You need 2.5" :carling:
