Todo
Need help getting data for the different SKU models and the default harddrive they are equiped with.
There is still some conflicting data to be sorted out, e.g.:
maximum size internal drive
The maximum size of the internal harddrive that the PS3 supports is 1TB (TeraBytes) note: this seems untrue as there are several people posting pictures of their external to internal drive mod with a size of 2TB
Personal experience
Using Normal Mode and Recovery - when trying to install a 1.5TB 3.5" drive as internal (using an eSATA cradle)
- Using Recovery it is possible to finish the format of the harddrive until 100%. The system however fails to reboot automaticly after that and halts. When enforced to reboot, it errors out with "Wrong Harddrive".
- When trying all the other Recovery Menu options it errors out with "Harddrive Error 0x8002F281".
- When trying to boot to XMB it also errors out with "Harddrive Error 0x8002F281".
- When replacing the drive for the previous tested 1TB harddrive, it boots without errors to XMB and reports : 827GB free/931GB total
- Conclusion
- >1TB didn't not work.
Using Factory Service Mode - when trying to install a 1.5TB 3.5" drive as internal (using an eSATA cradle) FSM
- Second try, using Service Mode
- first replacing drive for original 120GB 2.5" and using Factory Service Mode to downgrade to lowest firmware the system can handle (2K slim -> FW 2.70)
- Result is fine. Log showed no errors : UPDATER_LOG.TXT
- Replaced for 1.5TB 3.5" drive and do exactly the same 2.70 again
- Result is fine. Log showed no errors : UPDATER_LOG.TXT
- Boot to XMB with Service Mode still activated
- No problems to get into XMB, but checking System Settings > System Information shows size detection issues:
System Software Version 2.70 IP Address xxx.xxx.x.xxx MAX Address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Free Space 30 G
- Exit Factory Service Mode
- Blank screen freeze when trying to boot to XMB in normal mode
- Power off and try again gives "system software was not installed correct" error
- inserted USB with 2.70 on normal location and START+SELECT button to let it reinstall
- Preparing Update counts to 100% and then halts (does not reboot), just like in first trial.
- Manual poweroff and reboot just results in blank screen with no harddrive activity
- Conclusion
- >1TB didn't not work in normal or recovery mode only with FSM enabled.
Going back to the 1TB and crosschecking
- Replacing drive back to the working 1TB (has 3.55 on it) gives prompt to reinstall 2.70, doing so errors out with "Harddrive Error 0x8002F281".
- Entering Factory Service Mode with 1TB and let it reinstall via lv2diag results fine without errors: UPDATER_LOG.TXT
- Boot to XMB with Service Mode still activated
- No problems to get into XMB, but checking System Settings > System Information shows size detection issues (the '30 G' seems to be FSM related):
System Software Version 2.70 IP Address xxx.xxx.x.xxx MAX Address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Free Space 30 G
- Exit Factory Service Mode
- No problems to get into XMB, and checking System Settings > System Information shows no size detection issues:
System Software Version 2.70 IP Address xxx.xxx.x.xxx MAX Address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Free Space 827GB / 931GB
- Conclusion
- <=1TB works fine in all modi.
maximum size external drive
External HDD : You can format it to any size up to 8TB note: this seems untrue, because when >2TB drives have hit the market, no screenshots of >2TB external storage are known
- sources used: source: http://www.edepot.com/playstation3.html#PS3_Harddrive and euss temp blog
- todo: flush out errors, merging in a readable format
Footnote: maximum supported drive space correlates to support of 512sector (either native, or emulated), see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Format
AES-256-CBC versus AES-256-XTS
There is conflicting mention of sources for the algo/mode used for GameOS encryption.
Fact:
- Sony/IBM loves AES
- 256bit based
- sectorsize 512 bytes (4096 bits)
- blockcipher
- recurring patterns are seen

- This table (pretends to) show all the posible partition layouts in all PS3 models, even when there are 2 big differences that changes partition positions (and consequently region names in Otheros/linux)
- Flash type
- NAND flash 256mb - All firmware is stored in real NAND flash
- NOR flash 16mb - A small part of the firmware is stored in real NOR flash, and most of the firmware is stored in the first "virtual flash" (ps3vflash) partition in HDD (his position makes the other partitions to be displaced)
- Otheros installation
- OtherOS official - Linux/FreeBSD partition is added as the last partition of the HDD
- OtherOS++ unofficial - Linux/FreeBSD is installed in the last partition of Vflash (the last partition of Vflash is resized conveniently)
- Flash type
- Devices contains a single physical partition
- Physical partitions contains one or more logicall partitions

- There is actual readable data near the end of the disk, so this has been renamed to Data Table instead of Entropy Table
