And as far as I know, any laptop drive will work. The only limit is that the PS3 reads the HDD at 5400rpm, so any higher rated hard drive is a waste. There is a 1tb 5400rpm HDD on newegg IIRC for like $90, thats what I plan on doing to mine, mainly for shits and giggles. Ah didn’t notice that. Good tip. I figured the HD case was an integral part of it. I’m going to go buy an external drive case tomorrow then and see if I can transfer the data via USB --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ps3-40g-owners/246037)._
