Safe to usea 7200rpm 2.5" drive in PS3

Flaccus · 2008-01-20 19:19:20

As per title, I have a 200gig Western Digital Scorpio I wish to use i the PS3. Conflicting reports on the web. Some say you get a small performance increase loading games and heat is not an issue, others say to stick to the 5400rpm drives for heat reasons. anyone ?

I think the myth that 7200 RPM drives are hotter then 5400 RPM ones has been debunked. They use less power but in a PS3 that doesn't matter.
