Please help because I am not a big computer techie.

Both of my hard drives are full and I want to replace them with the ULTIMATE.

pacificvibes · 05-20-2009, 09:21 PM

the highest one you can get right now is a 500GB 2.5 sata.

Western Digital is very good.

Do I get the SATA 1.5GB or the SATA 3.0GB transfer rate or does it matter?

Obviously I prefer the 3.0BG if it will work!

Seems like the thread you linked does not say if 3.0GB/s will work?

If moneys no object, get the 500Gb 7200rpm. 7200rpm will only shave off a seconds of HDD load time, but you said money is not an issue, so hey!

I'll get these. Can I get the 3.0GB/s transfer rate?

hellmonkey · 05-20-2009, 09:37 PM

Here you go, its only 5400 rpm, but that wont really matter too much on the ps3.
link n stuff

Seagate does make a 500 gb 7200 rpm drive, but id stay far away from. Ive seen a rash of Seagate drives taking a dump lately, both 2.5 and 3.5"

krinkle · 05-20-2009, 09:37 PM

Should I get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148374

Or should I get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136314

On paper the Seagate looks better and faster with that huge cache but the WD seems more reliable.

krinkle · 05-20-2009, 09:38 PM

OK look like I am going to get two WD 500GB Scorpio 7200RPM.

Any objections???

EDIT DANG I MISREAD

THE WD IS ONLY 5400RPM!!

krinkle · 05-20-2009, 09:40 PM

I think I may try the Seagate....7200RPM of goodness and take my chances.

Newegg has awesome return policy.

Hmmmm...

WD does make a 7200 RPM 320GB model! It has 100% 5 star reviews.

Maybe I will go with those.

krinkle · 05-20-2009, 09:47 PM

Seagate is one of the only manufacturers that I trust to purchase hard drives from. I recommend going with them.

Rike255 · 05-20-2009, 10:03 PM

You want to get really fancy, buy two 3.5" High speed hard drives and surgery them onto your PS3. Won't be pretty though!
