If your PS3 takes forever to boot up, crashes frequently, or shows error messages like 'corrupted data,' your hard drive might be giving up. You can also try swapping it with a known good drive to confirm.
Does your PS3 freeze on the XMB or take a long time to load games? Those are big red flags for a dying hard drive.
Honestly, if your PS3 isn't working, just replace the hard drive anyway. It's an easy fix and worth the peace of mind.
Just check for weird noises like clicking or grinding. If it sounds like a coffee grinder, your hard drive is likely bad.
