 Re: Pimp my PS3?
That's right, any 2.5" SATA notebook hard drive can be used in the PS3 (I replaced my 20 GB drive with a 160 months back). It is recommended to use one that is the same specs (5400 rpm) as the original.
When you put the new drive in, the PS3 will automatically format the drive and put on any system files it needs on the drive. You won't have to do anything.
As for the "Install other OS", early into the PS3's lifespan a version of Linux was introduced specifically for use on the PS3 called "Yellow Dog Linux". You can find out more about it and get the details on the install over at their official site, Terra Soft Solutions. . Myself, I would maybe steer clear of this unless you really know what you are doing- I know from personal experience on my PC how easy it is to mess up a Linux install.  |
