Follow this tutorial: Link

|But does anyone have any experience doing this? If so do you have |any suggestions?

Yes. Use a 7200RPM Western Digital HDD. Like this (one I have used) or like this.

|Do I run a risk of getting banned from xbl by swapping drives like that?

No. All the cheaper 3rd party drives you find on ebay/amazon are made the same way.

|Also, can any laptop hdd be used to do this?

No. It has to be one of a few certain models of Western Digital.

>he drive doesn't have to be an official Sony one right?

Nope, it can be any laptop HDD! Has to be 9.5mm though! Most are, but some 1TB might be 12mm and those wont fit.

I am using the WD Black 7200RPM 750GB

You could also get a cheaper 5400RPM drive (That type is in PS3 stock) or 5400 and something bigger like

or

But seeing as something like
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Momentus-Internal-Notebook-ST9750420AS/dp/B004MME0N0/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1372845305&sr=1-3&keywords=seagate+momentus

is not that much more expensive I would not go below 500GB.

Do NOT get the WD Blue series for PS3. From what I read when I was upgrading mine they have a too aggressive head parking "feature" to save power so the head parks and takes a while to spin up again.
