trying to upgrade hard drive but not sure if dock or internal

[stefan1988]

hello im new to the website so don't kill me if i ask something overasked i been reading around and i learned a bunch about the hard drives.

im having this dilemma
i want to get an internal hard drive to rip the games into it.

there is many possible options.

internal laptop hard drive inside ps3
dock to connect bigger size hard drives

external hard drive

i want to get a internal hard drive of maybe 1TB or more but i heard the limitation is the size of the height which is like 9.8mm i believe.

the biggest they make that would fit is a 750gb internal laptop drive.

i heard though there is a mod you can do to your ps3 internal cage and a blue scorpio of 13mm will fit which is basically flatten hell out of it and put it in.

so basically the summary is.

which one you think is the best to have intenal ps3 hard drive or to have the dock with the ps3.

if i choose one of above how do you guys put the game images that you guys get from the internet to the hard drive.through ftp or can i connect external hard drive and copy to internal hard drive?

any help is appreciated.

$40 FOR A usb docker effectively. with hdd face down risk of static against carpet .

if you are in UK ebuyer had a similar usb docker for £4.99 plus delivery making it £10 delivered. think its gone up in price now which stil makes it cheaoper then $40 usd.

1TB limit, modification depends on model, external dock(ugly) your choice, keep in mind HDD perform better horizontally
