i've got a 60GB PS3,from the first ones that came out in Europe,and i was thinkin' (not now,in a future) to replace it with a bigger HD..but i've got some questions: 1.How much maximum space the PS3 can hold of a new HD? 2.Wich format can i use?,needs a format before puttin' the HD in the console? 3.Is there a way to make a backup copy of the system configurations (Network n other stuff) aswell as my music photos movies and savegames (except the games installation) ? 4.Can i also save the Playstation Network info? 5.Recommended RPM? 6.Anything else i should kno'?

I don't think that you can use a third-party HDD for Playstation 3 but i may be wrong. EDIT: NWM the aboce sentence . here's a link to a tutorial: http://www.gamersreports.com/article/43/ Last edited by liansk on Sun, 10th Feb 2008 14:47; edited 1 time in total

Yes you can. In fact pretty much any 2.5" S-ATA disk.

1.Not sure what is the maximum allowed space, if any, but people have used disks with 500gb fine.
2. See above, any 2.5" S-ATA disk.
3. Yes you can, not sure about the system configuration though.
4. Don't know.
5. Both 5400 and 7200 RPM works fine.
6. File system must be FAT32.

Upcoming PC games 2009 and onwards
