PS3 HDD upgrade

[kk.]

Hey,
Im gonna get this for my birthday: http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3516598/Western-Digital-Scorpio-WD3200BEVT-320GB-2-5-Internal-SATA-Hard-Drive/Product.html

cheapest one and its a lot of space. But i would like to know, using this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/2-5-Sata-eSata-External-Enclosure/dp/B000S89NQG/ref=pd_bxgy_ce_img_b would i just put in the existing HDD into that and then connect it up, and would this work instead: http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/8267334/Sweex-STO30B3-2-5-SATA-HDD-USB-2-0-Enclosure/Product.html

i know the review says it didnt work but im not too sure if hes just an idiot. i dont particularly wanna buy an external hard drive just for that

Why not just take the HDD out of the bottom of the PS3 you have in it now and put that 320GB in?

Then put your 20/50/80GB PS3 HDD in that Amazon enclosure?

You may aswel go for the internal, Tidier...

& it doesnt void the warranty either :)

40gb :/ bought it jsut before the 80 came out lol.
its not a question whether i use an external, ive made my mind up that i want the one in the first post :P its just what to use to transfer the data from my current one :(

theres a guide on google, whack it all onto an external, format new drive & put it all on new drive...

im sorry but, did you actually read my post?

I say go for it, and I guess you need an External HDD to back it up onto :P I dunno, explains in the video though! :P ^^

Tbh any 2.5 enclosure will work fine. Go for the cheap one tbh.

Ive got a cheap £5 I got from ebay. Never had a problem
