they say its restricted to 250b external usb but people have been using 1tb

besides 320gb the max you can get for a laptop hd unless hitachis 500gb is finally on wholesale

keep in mind at the time of printing that 250gb was proabably the largest mfg drive!

theres lots of google results of peeps using 320s in the ps3

your right!! i was reading old stuff.. well its a 320 for me

yeah you can have any size (gb wise) aslong as it is a notebook 2.5" SATA drive, which there is really only 320gb as the largest avaliable currently.

I'm gonna do this aswell eventually, 40gb is a bit small for me :P

i did upgrade mine to a 160gb HDD.

yeah in SATA only.

Also just incase you wanted to or just didn't know, by changing the ps3's internal HD doesn't void your warranty. but if you need to send it back to Sony for repairs, you must send it back with the original HD that came with the system, so you might want to keep it just incase ;)

is there a way of backing up everything off the original HDD?
