I have a 500GB HGST Travelstar that has worked perfectly for better than 2 years in two different PS3s. When I bought it, it was about $30 cheaper than the WDs and Seagates. Since PS+ is starting to offer more and more good stuff, I'm considering upgrading to a 1TB. I'll probably stick with Hitachi.

Incorrect.. You have the raw size, then the formated size, lastly the PS3 takes 12% of any drive for it's filesystem. Why 12% is some magic number for managing the filesystem has been a mystery. Think about it; on a 1TB drive the PS3 takes 120GB... that's alot.
