    Looking for some input on what I should get. I'm looking at this one right here(might not even work there is no metal bit covering the spinny parts) but not 100% if thats what I should go with. Is speed really that important or should I just go for capacity? But $50ish bucks is what I'm looking to spend. I don't actually use my PS3 much it lives at my girlfriends place and she mostly uses it for netflix and some games but mostly games happen when I hang out with her over there.

    Should I buy the drive in my link or is there something better I should look at. I would be willing to get a smaller drive if that meant faster loads. I'm upgrading from a 320gb/5200rpm(that died) so really any capacity is gonna be a huge jump up from what I had. 1TB sounds pretty nice though.

    I'm browsing through Amazon now. Basically trying to decide between:

    • 1TB/5400RPM
    • 500GB/7200RPM(this?)
    • Some kind of hybrid(not seeing a ton of options)
