■ 1 3.5" SATA HDD (find one yourself start here...)
■ 1 3.5" SATA HDD enclosure. (Like this one here...)
■ 1 Male SATA 7-Pin DATA to Female SATA 7-Pin Cable. (I'm using a 20") Got mine here...
■ You may need a set of needle nose pliers or a pair of snips.
Pictures & Instructions (sort of)
■ CoolMax CD-311-SATA COMBO - or an equivalent
Reasons I chose this model
■ It's black, the PS3 is black.
■ Uses SATA or IDE drives.
■ Has a SATA connection which the PS3 uses.
■ Also has USB & Firewire.
■ It was cheap, only 50 bones at NewEgg. There are less expensive ones available, you'll
have to look.
A few other nice things, you can safely carry this unit over to your PC, Mac, & Linux boxes or
another PS3. Take it with you to your friends' places, work and school. It will be easy to hook
up; it has USB and Firewire as well as the all important SATA. There is little or no risk of ESD
to the drive; in it's enclosure.
So put your stinking 3.5" SATA drive in this, if you really have to; use the instructions that came
with the enclosure, gosh!
■ Male SATA 7-Pin DATA to Female SATA 7-Pin Cable
It should look like this. The male end goes to the PS3 and the female end to the HDD
enclosure.
