What is the original hard drive? 5400 rpms or 7200 rpms? It'd probably be best to upgrade to the same speed?

Be careful though. Only SOME HDD works, do a few background checks on them. I suggest the WD Scorpio 320GB. It works and it's very affordable ($70 ain't too bad)

NinjaKatana45 ... ( 2 days ago by drshagstein)

NinjaKatana45 doesn't know what he's talking about. That little made-up list of his is replete with inaccuracies and myths that the folks at Sony themselves have long since debunked. It's perfectly safe to install a large capacity (250gb-500gb) hard drive in your PS3. Ditto for one that runs @ 7200rpm w/ 16mb Cache. If you don't believe me research it for yourselves on the web. Also, check your PS3 manuals. The only upgrade restriction is that your new hdd must be 2.5", and that's it.

Bollocks. I've had ... ( 2 days ago by jabklyn)

Bollocks. I've had a 320GB 7200rpm hard drive installed for almost 6 months with no heat, vibration, or noise issues at all. Virtually all of my mates who own ps3's have also upgraded to bigger hard drives as well without any issues. Where in the any of Sony's official documentation for the ps3 did you got your info, or misinformation, from? Stop spreading childish and unsubstantiated rumours.
