You know, Im tired of every single laptop drive post saying itll "tide you over to the days of SSD affordability". Every time I try to find a deal on an SSD here by searching for SSD, I get a shitload of laptop drives as results. Thats not inconvenient at all.

I have the 7200rpm version of this drive. It has been great so far. Pretty fast (for a notebook drive) and decent capacity.

I bought one similar to this a year ago to upgrade my PS3 HDD... works great and was about the same price at that time (~$70).

Whic is better for a PS3? The WD or cheaper Seagate? Does 7200rpm matter for a PS3?

I agree with #4. "...to tide you over to the days of SSD affordability." Well when the F*ck is that supposed to be? 2050? Come on Ben, come up with some new material!

This is linking to a 5400 Drive ( maybe site is doing it ) and they dont even show ST9320421AS as something they stock. I'm sure it's not BB

5400 rpm is enough for the ps3 unless you store lots of mp3s and video on it... otherwise for regular gaming it is sufficient.

Actually gaming would be far more of a demand on drive RPM than MP3 or video would, both of the latter being linear low bitrate activities which don't need high throughput nor seek speed. You could run video or MP3 off a lowly SD card but umm, lots of PMPs already do that.
