Toshiba 320 gb 72000rpm 2.5" Sata 60$ (http://www.buy.com/prod/toshiba-mk3256gsy-320-gb-internal-hard-drive-sata-300-7200-rpm-16-mb/q/loc/101/215983960.html)

Anyone know of maybe a better deal for a bigger one or anything? I have 40gb left of 111 on my PS3.

Also would a USB powered External Hard Drive work? Could I put stuff on it and not have to fool with taking the one I got out and putting a new one in and backing up and all that fun stuff.

You can't store games or save files on an external drive. You can do a backup to it but it backs up all of your content in a dump file.

Yeah you would need an external hdd to create a backup image of what is on your current hdd and for the internal hdd it has to be a 2.5" sata laptop hdd and from there you restore the image off of the external hdd.

Note the external drive needs to be in FAT32 to format also
