I've decided it's time to upgrade my PS3's HDD from the 40gb (purposely purchased because I knew I’d be changing it out) to something much larger. Once this is done I plan on installing Yellow Dog Linux on it.
Anyone know of good sites to get a HDD on? It needs to be a 2.5" SATA and can be 5400 or 7200 speeds. There is no real performance difference from what I've read do to a firmware limitation on the PS3. I don't really have a size preference. I’m just looking for the most GB for the money. More than 120gb would be good.
