I'm going to upgrade my PS3 to a 500GB hdd.
I've found these 2 and would like opinions please.
First off, are they both compatible with the PS3?

The 2 are, western digital, and a samsung.

Also, if you know of a better hdd is the same price range, feel free to post a link.

Thanks in advance.

Any 2.5 inch SATA is meant to be compatible with it.

OP I have that Western Digital one for the past 2 months. Would recommend. Very simple and straightforward swap with the old one.
