I know you have to use a serial ATA laptop hard drive and you 5400rpm works best (with 7200rpm you gotta get something to make it work better from what I've heard)

So I want A 500gb hard drive.

So This Will Work, fit, and last:

or will this one last, fit, and work (It doesn't look like a ps3 replacement one I saw)

$59.23

The second one won't work because it's a 3.5 inch one instead of a 2.5 inch one.  The ps3 takes laptop hard drives not desktop hard drives.  There's a way to fit it though but you need a adapter.  Xecuter PS3 HDXT is the one you can use to hook the second one up but you need your own power source.  There may be another adapter too but I forgot the name.
