I have an external MAX DRIVE 160gb that was made specifically for the PS3, but it's always just worked when it wanted to..

I thought that they both used an ATA 2.5 in. notebook hard-drive....

Because when I go to install MGS4 it takes like 5-7gb depending on the chapter, and then another gig for MGO, and I have a whole bunch of space on my 360's hdd that will never be used cause I bought it solely for Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean 4...

"I thought that they both used an ATA 2.5 in. notebook hard-drive...."

It' s Serial-ATA, much faster than regular ATA:

USB and ATA 133 mbs per secong

S-ATA 1.5 gbs per second

S-ATA 3.0 gbs per second

That's all i want to know... lol

If your trying to swap out a 360 HDD and put it in your ps3, then no it won' t work....

Just buy a regular 2.5inch Serial-ATA laptop harddrive (whatever size you want) and just swap it out, easy...

I recommend Western Digital HDDs, click the link below this is the one I recommend for you:

Newegg.com - Western Digital Scorpio Black WD2500BEKT 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Notebook Hard Drive - Laptop Hard Drives

$89.99 no taxes and free shipping

If you can actually use any 2.5" HDD here, i would go for Velociraptor... it may not be as big as some of the other 2.5 inch-ers, but it sure is WAY faster. 10K rpm... that will make your load times non-existent. And from what i've heard, they aren't all that hot either.

Anywho, upgrading is soo much simpler on a PC ^_^

PS. I have to aggree with Arnautu here... Western Digital are making the overall best hard drives out there.

Yeah but you gotta keep in mind the man' s budget...

And yeah I' m a PC man myself...

My PC just RAPES the XBOX360 and the PS3 specs....

that's badass Ex, but yea, that's a bit pricey for me...

I've been meaning to upgrade my hd for some time, but never got around to it, and this seemed like a good idea, before I found out it wouldn't work...
I've been checking out the ones on Best Buy's website cause I'm not one to buy stuff online, other than my X JAPAN stuff...
anyways, I can't find any that are 2.5"
