Its fitted, now I can use my PS3 as a media centre - around 270GB of useable storage for £50 :thumbs: | |

Thats why I need a case for it, as once the MyBook is in its new format I can back up the PS3 HD onto it. With the case I can also use the original 40GB drive as an external too :) | |

Balls to that. Would I need to download and install of the system updates if I just took the old HD out? Or are they saved on the systems internal memory? | |

I want to do this. Is there a cable I can buy to connect my laptop HD to the existing 40gb PS3 HD? I want to back all my games/updates to my laptop HD before I take the old HD out. | |

Must be a FAT32 external drive, however. | |

quote: Not true. The 12.5mm 2.5" drives won't fit. It has to be thinner than 9.5mm (I believe). But yeah, they're the common size so most 2.5" drives will fit... Best to double-check, though, eh? As I said, though -- the 320gb WD 5,400rpm is the most commonly used drive. I'd go for that one if you're on a budget (under £50 at Play). [Edited on 04-11-2008 by xa0s] | |

It even tells you how to do it in the PS3 manual and is approved by Sony :) | |

Does that mean I can get another one cheaper then John? Why does that one specifically say PS3 compatible, is it just to cunfuse people like me? :lol: | |

It doesn't void the warranty, any 2.5" sata drive will fit. | |
