PS3 and bigger Hard Drive?

Question

Ive noticed that there is a docking bay to slide a new HD into the PS3 - can this be done?

I seriously thought 60gb would be fine but around 5gb of that was taken up by firmware leaving around 50-55gb actually usabel, and after 4 game saves, 4 demos and my favourite albums (pherhaps around 40I think) I only have 30gb left!?

Also,is there a way to defrag the HD - like you can on a PC to help stopfile corruption from the head moving about on the HD?

Thanks, btw im having much fun on VF5 and Oblivion. I really hink that SOny should preload the GT demo, and the £1.99 games - not cos imtight but to make it a more attractive package. Im well happy with my PS3 -its so futuristic in that it IS a total entertainment centre in one.

You can't defrag HDD. You can replace it with any 2.5" 5400RPM SATA HDD. 250GB will cost around 170$. 7200 can be used too, faster load times, but Sony recommends 5400 ones.
