Bigger, Better, Slower

Earlier in the month, I hit the cap on my PS3 hard drive.  After a few years of intense usage, my 160 GB hard drive only had 5 MB left in it.  Now I’ve got a 640 GB drive in there, which should keep things roomy for at least another couple of years.  I hope–and slightly doubt–that this will be the last time in this generation of consoles that I have to stick in a new hard drive.

The restoration of data from an external hard drive back into the new one is taking forever.  It’s been spinning away for a few hours now and is only at 62% complete.  Geez.
