Satan said:With all the... ahem... backups, my PS3 drive is full!
So many games need to be on the internal drive to work, not to mention all the additional game data that quickly eats away any free space.
I think it's finally time to upgrade this old war horse with a new 500 or 750 GB internal HDD where all the backups can go which means
* No more EXTERNAL DRIVE!
* No more unplugging the drive when starting up
* No more having to move backups back and forth
This would be most useful for those of us with 80 & 120 GB versions of the PS3.
Spoke to one of the Distri's of Hitachi and he has promised us a good deal on the Hitachi Travelstar and Deskstar series of HDD's. I'll get the pricing tomorrow.
* Best price on Seagate and WD counterparts for the 5400rpm laptop drives is around the 2700 to 2900 mark for 500 gig. I've asked them for quotes much lower than that.
* Reason for going in for Hitachi is better reliability.
* 3 year warranty
* I have been told that after sales service is great now as compared to earlier. Maximum turn-around time on replacement is 4 days which is good. Drive is delivered to your door step but pickup is not available.
I will be getting a quote for the 1 TB, 32 MB Cache, 7200 RPM, Internal 3.5" Deskstar drive as well.
* Shipping of the drives will most probably be handled by me as I don't think they will be interested in doing a PAN-India GO.
