will this work with the PS3 upgrade?
yes it is a 2.5" hard drive
Not necessarily #2. I believe it needs to be certain demensions. Not sure if any current 2.5" will fit in a PS3.
I meant to say any current 500MB 2.5 drive.
Yes, it should work just fine. Current PS3 I have uses 80GB Momentus and it is a standard 2.5 you can buy anywhere. I recently upgraded to a WD 500GB drive and it takes no more than 10mins. You will be required to format the drive once you turn on your PS3 and that takes less than a minute.
Is paypal %15 still working?
get SSD, you won't regret it.
This seems like a really good price with the Paypal deal.
apexi350z (#7),
I have been considering SSD for my Dell D420. I am reading mixed reviews, some say that the write speed would be worse than regular HDDs. Any thoughts on that? I have seen SSDs in ebay for $250 which claims to have 100MB/s read and write.
