rareairunc Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 ok so ive found a 320gb w.d. ext hdd for $89 would this benefit me for my ps3? do i just backup to the hard drive and then delete off the ps3? and then when i want to use the stuff on the ext hdd just reload it onto the ps3?
Beef Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 no, this wont work, external hard drives are almost hopeless for use with the PS3 unless you want to play music or videos that are already stored on the External Hard Drive, you cant run the PS3 off the Ext hard drive, if you want more space you will need to buy a Laptop drive and install it in place of the standard PS3 hard drive, i just recently bought a 160GB seagate drive, was a peace of piss to install, works fine. the PS3 wont install game data or demos onto the ext hard drive, only the internal one.
rareairunc Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 Dammit , does anyone want to buy a wd 320gb ext hdd for $90 posted

Beef Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 anyway to get a refund or something? where abouts are you located? I went into my local harvey norman in tassie and founf 3 Western Digital 160GB 2.5" Sata Laptop Drives (which are the PS3 ones) for $39.95 that is extremely cheap... i think they are trying to clear them out...
rareairunc Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 NO refund i dont think but that sound cheap for a int hdd im in launceston as well and work at an elec retailer
Beef Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 NO refund i dont think but that sound cheap for a int hdd im in launceston as well and work at an elec retailer yeah that is very cheap, i bought my Seagate one 160GB for $105. But their price is correct, i double checked and even asked. they are brand new and they are just clearing stock. Maybe worth checking at harvey Norman in laun, maybe they can send one down.
