I would recommend buying a USB hard drive enclosure that will fit your harddrive.

PS3 has a Harddrive which you can change with a standard laptop harddrive
This laptop comes with a 320GB Serial ATA Hard Drive.
You can use a standard Laptop harddrive not a PC harddrive see related link
Sure the PS3 was designed to accept a standard laptop harddrive and made for easy replacement and upgrade of the harddrive. You can have the largest laptop size available installed in the PS3 or any other size. The PlayStation network support also has procedures for upgrading the harddrive.
well i never tried it but what you may have to do is write the OS on an other computer by linking the harddrive of the laptop to a computer with a CD ROM drive. afteer you write the OS on the harddrive you place it back on the laptop with no drives.
A PS3 harddrive is a standard size notebook harddrive and are only worth the amount of a used laptop harddrive of the same GB size. The $50 extra currently being charged for the 320 GB harddrive is about value of a new 160 GB harddrive so a used 120 GB harddrive would be worth much less.
This Laptop features a 160 GB Hard drive and 10 gb additional online storage available.
It has a Seagate 160 gig (ct-2b82401833uzbl0)
PS3 harddrives are standard 2.5 inch laptop harddrives. I purchased a 1 TB Western Digital Laptop Harddrive and best buy installed it for $50. It works the same and has room for all the free Playstation Plus offered games
The PS3 was designed to be able to have a standard laptop size harddrive and meant to allow upgrading. The only reason to upgrade a hard drive is for more storage space and/or a higher quality harddrive. That is the reason to upgrade any harddrive
depends on several factors- 1) if there is any data on that harddrive you need, TAKE OUT THE HARDDRIVE. 2) if the harddrive is less than 120 GB, and the above is not true, GET RID OF IT. 3) if the harddrive is working, and number 2 is NOT true, KEEP IT. A working harddrive of decent size is always helpful to have around.
