PS3HEN Can i factory reset my PS3 HEN enabled PS3 slim?

i heard 7200 rpm ones heat more inside the ps3

"Exchanging the internal drive to a 7200RPM model doesn't do much for your loading times (shaves off a second or 2)"

doesnt seem like it means much the 7200

It's all up to you, if you prefer to use a 5400rpm, you can, that's what s#ny used originally although I suspect it was a cost saving decision.
Ps3 heating issues are caused by the chips, the hdd impact is negligible in comparison.

Im asking cause im interested about what features i need to look up for to be compatible, not what i prefer, so i dont get a HDD that wont be compatible..
And so, i mean objectively what you think about the HDD i sent you cause i plan to buy it, but im not sure if it will work well with PS3 slim

As long as it's a 1 TB hard disk drive SATA 2.5", then it should be just fine. (I remember using a Seagate disk)

Note 1: I'd avoid SSD disks because the PS3 can't handle them correctly and some users report issues when using solid state drives.

Note 2: Also, sizes over 1 TB are not supported by the PS3, so avoid buying a 2TB drive. (actually I think the limit is 1.5 TB, but everyone sticks to 1 TB drives for simplicity)

i want to do it my self to learn and to know what i did, to go through the process my self basically and to update everything, but mostly i want to activate my console before i install HEN so i can install package files that require rap's.

Thanks!

btw, activation is no longer an issue on HEN even if your console is banned, can't go online or can't be updated. I've addressed that recently in Apollo Save Tool.

But in any case, a proper activation is still preferred. If you go with the regular process, try to use a disposable account for activation, to avoid losing your purchases and content in case the account gets banned in the future.
