hiten55 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 or you could buy this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-5-SATA-to-SATA-Aluminium-Caddy-XP-VISTA-MAC-Linux_W0QQitemZ370043214107QQihZ024QQcategoryZ86758QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem stick you existing hdd in it, copy the data to your pc, then put the new hdd in it and copy it back. or you could buy two and copy direct thats assuming the file system is windows compatible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 hummmm wonder how that would work ? i am starting to see people mentioning 500 GB and 750 GB HDD for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 You can copy all your game data onto a USB stick then copy it onto your new HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 thats another good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I had to do it with replacement PS3. ONly thing is though NFS Carbon wouldnt copy- so i had to complete it all again Hopefull thats not the case with Pro Street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 what size USB stick did you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 1GB i think, the game save data isnt that big. If you have more than a gig then just copy it all to pc in severl trips- if that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 or what about this 750GB monster? what the difference between the run speeds i would of thought 7200 would run faster than 4500? ref to what the guy said at around 56 seconds into the ebay video http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-054-SA&gclid=CK3fgurj-ZICFQsRuwodCm9QEA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 More than likely I'm missing somethign here (as usual!), but why would anyone need so much HDD space on a PS3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Music and stuff, the PS3 can be used as a mediacenter. Anyway, with regards to the instructions. I got instantly worried when he tried to unscrew the HDD by tightening the screw. I was hoping it was a LH thread but it was not to be.

ufop Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I think more and more people will start looking at upgrading the drives when the tuner bit comes out for the PS3.... of course though you could just use it as a media centre or maybe pop Linux on it and have another PC/games console... im waiting for my year warranty to run out before upgrading the drive :-) http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/3595202/Play-TV-+-PlayStation-3-TV-Tuner/Product.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
