NewEgg.com has the Seagate Momentus 500GB 2.5" 5400.6 ST9500325AS Hard Drive for Notebooks priced at $110 - $10 code EMCABAGBG [Exp 1/12] = $100 with free shipping. A good upgrade to tide you over to the days of SSD affordability. Here is the Seagate site for this drive.
is this drive compatible with PS3?
I have read about people successfully putting one of these in a PS3. You will need to find a program capable of formatting a drive this big into FAT32.
I just installed one of these in a PS3 a week ago. I works very well, the ps3 will format the drive if you follow the instructions.
Make sure you backup your data on a fat32 formatted drive or stick.
Now that Seagate has downgraded their warranties, how much difference is there between drive manufactures now?
The Seagate uses 3 platters to achieve 500GB while the WD uses 2 so the WD will significantly outperform the Seagate.
