PS3 Hard drive upgrades

[jmc]

I've tried searching for this, but has anyone actually upgraded the internal HDD on a PS3 to over 500gb?

I'm looking at replacing my current stock hdd due to the PS3 jailbreak and all. When I was looking at hard drives, newegg has a 2.5" 1 tb hard drive on sale for $100 that looked wonderful for my PS3.

I'm just wondering if it will actually work? I could only find information about people installing 500gb hard drives, and was wondering if the PS3 caps at a certain capacity.... or if it just was not smart due to heat concerns?


*edit* guess peopling is a word *shrug*

I don't see a problem with upgrading to a 1TB HDD. The only thing that's usually a concerns with PS3 HDD upgrades is making sure it's not over 5400 RPM and I don't believe any of the 1TB 2.5" drives are over that.

I use a 320 GB 7200 RPM drive with no issue, but then again I have plenty of airflow around my PS3.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I use a 500GB 5400rpm as well. Heat shouldn't be a problem as even 2.5" HDDs don't get that hot. I'd say go for it.

500gb 7200rpm here, works great.
