would this HDD work in the PS3?

[hyp]

i'm considering jumping on this at lunch. 

[Mupepe]

not sure.  But I'm also not surprised people are buying HDD's instead of games for their PS3

[hyp]

after reading TVCs thread, i'm even thinking of installing linux on it too.   

[Rman]

Yes. It's SATA.

does it matter if it's SATA/150? whatever the fuck that means.  i was reading that the PS3 maxes out at 250gb anyway, so i might as well get a jump on it considering my 20gb is getting filled with MANDATORY INSTALLS .

year of the ps3 continues by keeping HDD companies in business

No. that does not matter. Just make sure it's not parallel ATA.  The 150 refers to the communication rate, 1.5 Gbps.

[Van Cruncheon]

yup, it'll work. i need to snag one of these myself

THANKS MANDATORY INSTALLS

External HDD are supported up to 500 GB as well over USB.
