my friend installed a 1tb hard drive on his and it freezes for him more often then my 500 GB one. so i'm wondering if it's worth it to get more room. anyone have a 1TB on there ps3? let me know here.
hmm.. i've put a 640GB WD a year ago, and the ammount of freezes, looooooooow reading / stuck times during mid gameplay... in the end i figured it wasn't worth the effort. I have a cech 2001-a with a 320GB SATA WD with 4.30 rebug and heck I don't regret having this HDD at all (responsive, fast, and lotta games [even ps2 classics] without even a single issue since may 2012)
When I had the 640GB installed, i've experienced even data corruption on the PS3 (and now this HDD has been used on the notebook i'm using, and has been used the whole past year) without issues at all

I installed a 750GB internal hdd in my PS3 over 2 years ago with no problems at all. At the time, it was advised to use a 5400rpm versus a 7200rpm but I'm not sure if this is still the case. If your friend's hdd is a 7200rpm, that could be the issue;... unless of course, this isn't the case anymore.
Last month I bought a 1TB HDD for my ps3 and so far it's working quite well with every game I tried. And actually I have yet to experience a freeze of the ps3 since I switched from my old 120GB drive.
So I'd totally recommend a 1TB HDD, even if it depends kinda heavily on what you plan to do with your PS3. :3

i'm only going get one IF i run out of room. i still got 238GB left so i don't think that's going happen anytime soon I'm working on my disk collecting for now.
I replaced the 160GB HD from my ps3 Slim right when I bought it with a 1TB WD Scorpio Blue 5400 RPM HD. I never experienced any freezes whatsoever. Might seem overkill to use such a big HD, but I download a lot of games off PSN, so 160 GB just didn't cut it.
If you wait until you run out of room, the back up process is going to take longer and if you don't have an ext hdd to back up your 500GB to already, that'll be an added expense as well.
If you are considering a larger internal hdd (for whatever reason,) doing it at any point in time has it's advantages/disadvantages.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
