This is the one I bought Mate

Samsung M7 640GB 2.5 inch SATA II 8MB Cache, 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive OEM - Sony Playstation PS3 Compatible: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

works great if you're going to buy another one make sure its compatible

Only a certain height in millimetres fits in the caddy. Think its 9.5mm anything bigger won't fit, some of them are around 12.5mm
