Careful with the 7200 rpm drive. I think the heat that it creates might not be soo good, especially if you have an older model that creates a lot of heat.

I would go with a Hitachi drive, they have amazing tech support, and also have the coolest and quietest hard drives out there.

Be careful with these drives .. some their larger drives are not the standard height and probably won't fit.

Has anybody found some good Black Friday deals on laptop drives or good websties that have drives for cheap year round?

Should be fine AFAIK..be aware there is a 205GB (not 250) limit to the PS3 partition right now..if that bothers you in terms of $ per GB .. then a 160GB is an option. I used a 250Gb since the price difference wasn't that big due to a sale on the 250GB...and I wanted the extra 40GB ..

hard drive heat wouldn't be something to worry about

How fast should the new HD be? 1.5g/s or 3.0g/s?

I just went with a 500Gb external drive since my music collection would in no way fit on any 2.5 drives. Works flawless for less money. Just wish the PS3 had USB ports on the back of the system.
