Western Digital 250 GB Scorpio Blue SATA 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Notebook Hard Drive
This HD was used to upgrade my OEM 80 GB PS3 Hard Drive. The installation process was quite simple and the PS3 unit performs much better with this Hard Drive than it did with the OEM 80 GB Seagate.
The PS3 unit now runs much quiter (which also means that it runs much cooler as the only noise you hear while gaming is the cooling fan) and the Hard Disk read/write speed is exponentially quicker. I would highly recommend this Hard Drive to anyone who owns a non-slimline PS3 as it will greatly increase the performance of your unit (which on the old CECHE01-xx units is a VERY important thing.These PS3 Units do tend to malfunction [YLOD] if they run at warmer temperatures for excessive periods of time]. In addition to providing you with more free space than you will even be able to use during the lifespan of your PS3 unit, the fact that they run much cooler as the space of the Hard Disk is increased is something which is of the utmost importance for PS3 owners who wish to get the longest possible lifespan of their PS3 unit.
The Hard Drive arrived very quickly (two full days before the anticipated ship date that I was given) and was secured well in a sealed, anti-static pouch. The pouch was fully secured between two packing sleeves which kept the drive securely elevated so that it would not vibrate or take any blows during the shipping process.
The one final recommendation I would like to make to anyone who uses this to upgrade a PS3 is to make sure that you know EXACTLY how well a phillips-head screwdriver should fit a screwhead. I am somebody who has worked in repair for my entire life, so for me this was not an issue. BUT, if you have limited experience in this department then you may wish to consider having a more mechanical acquaintance perform the disk removal and install for you...because if the screws which secure the OEM Hard Drive are stripped to the point of where they may not be removed, than you will have a large problem on your hands which even require you to send your PS3 Unit directly to Sony for a repair which will be more expensive than it should be.
