Playstation 3 HDD going slow as hell... Help!

[martinstraka8282]

So I upgraded my 60gb PS3 to a 250gb Western Digital 2.5" 5400RPM Sata Drive, and everything went smoothly with backing up, installing, and restoring. I have now put all 160gb's of MP3's on my PS3, and it is SO slow now. All the icons take a few seconds to load up, and when I am navigating my music it takes forever for the info to come up when I scroll through my music. For exampple: I scroll down to Snoop Dogg, and when his name finally comes up, I click on it and then it takes another 10 or 15 seconds for the songs to come up. Everything plays fine, it just takes forever.

Im thinking it could be because my hard drive is about 75% full, but my drives on my computer are way faster even when they are full. I am thinking that maybe the PS3 just cant handle so many MP3's, but other than that Im confused cuz it all worked fine before I put all my music on it.

Any help would be appreciated.
