Replacing PS3 Slim HDD?

Question

Would a WD Scorpio Black 7200 RPM HDD or Caviar Black (i like the 5y warranty from WD) overheat the system. Would the temperature difference between a 5400 and a 7200 rpm be a problem? My PS3 stays on for hours at a time for downloads, movies, shows, games, and music. It sits well ventilated. I would get an SSD for my PS3 but there's no TRIM Support, RAId, or Garbage Collection on a PS3 for SSD and i don't want the drive to slow down over time. (32•F Freezing Temperature, 33•F Water wont freeze.)

Answer 1

It won't adversely affect your PS3. That is a myth. Some people were concerned with the older model PS3's because they already had an overheating issue, but with the new slim models there is nothing to worry about.



You are going to have to choose the Scorpio Black because the Caviar Black won't fit the PS3. It is a 3.5" drive and the PS3 can only accept a 2.5" drive.
