will any hdd work as internal for slim?

[metalbruce 6]

My laptop died.. it had a 120g hd inside and i thought I'd try to make use of it. It's formatted to fat32 but not being recognized. It's a fujitsu.

Any thoughts?

it should work if you have a RGH/JTAG, you need to format it tho (go to the console settings and find "Memory" there you'll see "Unformatted" that's your harddrive

Ah thank you! I plan on getting the console rgh'd but its still stock.

Stock dash only reads harddrives which have the security sectors in place (doesn't work "any" drive) but a RGH/JTAG have this restriction among others removed

Cool deal, thanks for info

it doesn't matter what you format it to.

when you put the hdd in and turn it on the ps3 will boot to recovery menu and you will have to re-install the firmware.

thiw will then format the hdd into the ps3's format

you can put up to a 2tb hdd into a ps3 but up to a 1tb is more compatable

 

never heard of a RGH ps3 before @swizzy and as this thread is in the ps3 section then he must be on about a ps3 right?

What Swizzy said applies to XBOX 360 HDDs.

 

I'm sure a PS3 will accept any hard drive whether it's stock or modified.
