If you have harddisk in hand outside of a computer you can read the model details and specifications printed on the harddisk. If it is inside a computer and you are running the computer with a Windows operating system, you can use File Explorer or My Computer icon to see the harddisk details. If it is a C: drive you can also right click and see properties which will show you total size, used and free space (this size is based on partition information of the drive and is it has more than one partitions or have space that has not been used in the logical drive partition it may show less size compared to the actual physical capacity of the HDD.
For more details in a Windows XP machine you can also go to
Start-> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management
This will give you all the details you need to know about the harddisk drives installed in the computer.

Hard Drives connect to the motherboard one of two ways. Either using a 40-wire/40-pin HDD ribbon cable, or an 80-wire/40-pin HDD ribbon cable. HDD stands for Hard Drive Disk.
ATA (UDMA) 66/100/133 modes of operation require the new cables that have 80 conductors
It increases number of parallel lines to transfer from/to hard drive to/from CPU, memory or chipset.
80 GB
The current PS3 hard drive sizes are 120GB and 250GB. Past models have included 20, 40, 60, 80, and 160 GB hard drives.
Double 40 is the result of multiplying 40 by 2. Mathematically, 40 x 2 = 80. Therefore, double 40 is equal to 80.
286/80 = 143/40 = 3 and 23/40 hours
$80 and up
40
80 conductor IDE cables are needed to enable UDMA speeds (33MB/s +).
You can change your harddrive from 40 GB to 80 GB but it will not make your PS3 an 80 GB model PS3. Nothing will do that. If you are going to increase the size of the hard drive you might as well go for a larger size than 80 GB.
