Hope that helps. Finding a cheap one is a matter of choice. I'd personally go with seagate myself. Western digital is less reliable in my opinion, but I've only had one WD drive fail. I guess the comments below me pretty much say it. Go with seagate.

all my (6) WD hdd failed. from masters to slave. i only use seagate now and not one has crashed. upgrade to a 160 and you will be fine.

I would go with Seagate too because they seem to be more reliable but I guess Western Digital is ok too. Plus the Seagate has a longer warranty

This is what I have inside my PS3:

And here is the cheaper WD:

And by the way Don't throw away the original hdd as you will need to put it back if ever you claim warranty from Sony

I read from another post on this site that a lot of people are using Toshiba's 160gb drive and it works out great. I have the link here:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822149058

It seems like it has received some pretty good reviews, any thoughts?

I know Toshiba. it is funny , but if it works great for the price, I'm all for it. I just wonder if there are going to be any good black Friday deals on laptop hard drives that would work good with the PS3.

Any one using a 7200 RPM one?

Wondering if they notice any speed differences...I suspect not but just wondering.
