PS3 Gaming Blog – PS3 Hard Drive, Which is Right for you?

When upgrading the PS3, you think to yourself how much space do I really need? Well here are my tips and opinions on what you really need.

Note: I will talk about the current PS3s available now, not the past systems (20GB, 60GB, 80GB) only newer 40GB, 80GB, and 120GB.

40GB – 80GB Hard Drive

This is usually the standard stock hard drive, these I recommend for those who want to use it to play some games, have some video content and music/pictures on there too. Those who play the PS3 casually and use it for its Blue-Ray player with some gaming action.

80GB+ 120GB – 250GB

This is what I call the Regular Gamer area, this is where you plan on playing good amount of games, download good number of content, and upload alot of videos, music, and musics. Also good to install linux on there too.

320GB – 500GB

This is the Hardcore Gamer area, those who plan on having alot of games, upload their movie/tv show collection, upload their music library and pictures combined. Great to have linux on there too with good amount of space to install programs on there. You know atleast its very spacious for you and your content.

500GB +

Those who seriously need over 500GB of hard drive space, download everything and still have space. You can have all the PS3 games out there and do the game installs (and optional game installs), you cna download crap load of content, dlc, and demos, you can install LINUX and never worry about space, you can move your whole library of videos, music, and pictures on there knowing you definatly got space left. Seriously if you need that much space I go for it but if you don’t its highly not recommended.

Hope this helps you guys to buy your new hard drive, I highly recommend buying it from Newegg.com since they have great cheap prices there for laptop hard drives.
