if its a SATA II drive then make sure to fix the jumper to make it think its just a SATA drive on the hdd itself.
Stops having to reset the machine to get it to work - a minor annoyance which happens every now and again on the old fat models if you dont have the jumper connected - dont know about Slims.
check the official us ps forum for detailed pics if needed.

Re: Upgrading PS3 harddrive questions
I'm running a western digital 7200rpm drive in my ps3 with zero problems, although I will say that I've hardly noticed any improvement in load times.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.
