Tempe, AZ | Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: It wouldn't benefit any from the extra rotational speed. It would also get hotter faster within the confines of a ps3... hot enough to cause it to error out more frequently or fail early. SSD's actually see worse performance in an older-model ps3 under most cases (install time, load times). Only game where an SSD benefitted the ps3 was with Gran Turismo 5 and its constant install/load cycles.

I just went to Bestbuy and got a 500gb 7200RPm 2.5 SATA Drive on sale for $80. Let's see what happens |

Tempe, AZ | Funny you mention that. Upon seeing this thread, I started to get curious... and found this. According to the specs, it should physically fit... which would mean it's the first 1tb that's physically compatible with the ps3.

Well overall, I don't see/feel any speed difference after having replaced my original with a 7200rpm a couple of months ago, but it seems that SSD really does make a serious difference overall.
