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.:

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

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

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

Reference:

• CBC - Cipher-block_chaining mode
• XTS - XEX-based Tweaked CodeBook mode
