PlayStation 3 Hardware Question

7200 RPM or 5400 RPM? Trophy Save Location?

I've been thinking about switching my hard drive with a 500 GB hard drive. I asked one of the workers at Best Buy about it and he suggested the 7200 RPM because it'll run faster. I discussed this idea with a friend and he said that I should use the 5400 RPM instead because there's a chance that my PS3 would be more prone to overheating with the faster RPMs.

Also, where are trophy's stored? Are they stored on the HDD or to the PSN user name?

Oh, forgot to ask the first question. Is it true that the faster RPMs would make my PS3 more prone to overheating?

As long as your ps3 has enough ventilation, it won't overheat with a 7200 rpm. Use the hardware charts on tomshardware.com to one that runs cool.

If you don't do a full backup before putting the new hard drive in, you should connect the ps3 to the internet and look at your trophies so that it syncs all of your new ones with their servers. Then when you go online with your new hard drive, all the trophies will be put back onto your ps3.

    The Trophies are tied to your psn user name and is also stored on the HDD. If you are connected to psn the trophies will synchronize so that you can see your trophies from any computer (given that you logon to psn via that computer). If you're not connected the trophies only exist on your ps3.
