Ok...its seems Sony is going apenuts with free downloads on plus this past summer. I basically dont have room anymore for stuff and I have a 500GB drive.

 

Anyone recommend a 1TB drive?

 

I'm looking at this:

Also I have a hybrid on a laptop and was wondering about SSD's.

 

I saw this article and it CAN improve some games. Still on the fence of sticking an expensive SSD in there. A hybrid may work though.

I'm a huge fan of SSDs, but if your problem is that you're running out of space, that may be the wrong way to go.

 

Yeah I'm sticking with the terabyte and I'm done. I realized the benefits dont really add up to warrant the money.

 

I'm still waiting to get an SSD on my PC when they finally get to an affordable price point.

Most 1TB 2.5" drives are too tall at 12mm (and NewEgg has a 2TB one listed but it's 15mm tall).. 9.5mm drives fit the best.

 

I keep thinking about taking a SATA extension cable and cobbling together an external enclosure to get over 1TB. Not sure how the file system would handle it tho. Sony uses a funky proprietary file system for PS3.

I was thinking the same thing. lol

 

I would think it would be fine as long as its connected somehow with that extension cable.

 

This guy tried it. He's got some pics too:
