Not sure if in right place (PS3 Hard drive upgrade)

Ok I have been looking at getting a new hard drive for my ps3.

I have been looking at the 2 following hard drives but am not sure if they are compatible with the ps3 or if they support fat32 files.

Seagate Momentus 7200.4 320GB SATA (ST9320423AS)
Seagate Momentus 7200.4 250GB SATA (ST9250410AS)

Can someone let me know if these would be ok or point me in a direction for another 250/320gb 7200rpm drive which is compatible

Cheers

John

Any 9.5" high SATA hard drive will be fine. Just check the dimensions of those drives.

The PS3 doesn't use Fat32 for it's internal file system, however it will format any drive fine as any hard drive can support any file system.
