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 :D

 

thats assuming the file system is windows compatible ;)

it has to be a 2.5" laptop drive mate. that ones for a pc ;)

 

and im sure the make and speed matter as the unit will have been programmed to only detect certain drives (like a sky+ box does).

 

oh and make sure its sata not ide ;)

 

but why do you need so much hard drive space anyway?

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.

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 :-)
