More HDDs breaking free: PS3 ESATA
Demonstrations like these, it’s like they’re saying that 2.5 inches of SATA seems somewhat cramped. You’ve got Team Xecuter xecuting the Hyperdrive, you’ve got T-ZONE wiring a 750GB box to the PS3 (before shrink-wrapping it or something), then you’ve got this. Kurouto Shikou’s PS3 ESATA, which allows users to plug “any hard drive” to the PS3 through it.
One pic, and only one pic on the site, and we don’t know how this plugs, welds, sits on, slots underneath, or otherwise connects to the PS3. The Google weblation didn’t help much either – though it did identify the peripheral as a “conversion baseplate” (it’s somehow “installed” in or into the PS3, but again, no help from our source material on this matter). Luckily, Akihabara had some very helpful details about PS3 ESATA. They didn’t specify if by “any hard drive” they meant IDE as well as SATA, and/or both 3.5 and 2.5 inches, though. But at least you can use ESATAs (external SATA drives – puts the E in PS3 ESATA), so that much is confirmed.
Anyway, if you can give us a hand on interpreting all these descriptions, the Via Link will take you to the original Japanese-language Kurouto Shikou site featuring the PS3 ESATA. Confirm or deny our suspicions, we don’t mind, we just need definite specs. Instructional manual also preferable; sale price, too (if any).
