PS3? Does anybody know if this hard drive will work in a PS3 console?

the PS3 comes standard with a 2.5" SATA hard drive. If you were to replace it your largest current option is one of the 500GB 2.5" Sata hard drives (Seagate,Hitachi, and others make them). The drives menioned above are 3.5" SATA hard drives that would not fit normally into the slot. That said you might be able to "make it work" with an external hard drive case and a SATA to eSATA adapter, but it would be extreme and non trivial.

Yes, this hard drive will work on the original PS3. Be aware, even though it does not say it, the drive is refurbished.

It works great. Just put this HDD in my PS4. Be sure to get the PS4 firmware on a USB storage device too.

Yes! As long as you can unscrew the Harddrive that is currently in your ps3. I dropped a 500gb in fat ps3 I have but then bought a ps4 :( wasting money lol Don't forget to get your games off for the new drive. I recommend a 32gb flash drive!

Yes, I just purchased it for my son and it works. What I didn't know is that if you don't have the casing you need it also as that is what the hard drive sits in. Then you insert the whole thing in the ps3.

Yes, you can use this 1TB to upgrade your 80GB PS3. I have the old backwards compatible 60GB PS3 system and upgraded it two days ago with this HDD and it has been working great. You can back up your PS3 using an External HD, so you won't lose your saved games, pics, etc. Once you put the new HD in the PS3 it will be formatted. After, restore the PS3 with the external HD and everything will be on your new 1TB HD. Hope this information helps.

Hi Patrick, this will not work in a PS4. You need a drive that is: 2.5 inch internal type (9.5mm or slimmer) and Serial ATA (Parallel ATA is not supported) Sorry about that.

Yes, it will, it is 2.5 inch SSD and PS3 HDD is 2.5 inch, so it can be replaced with other 2.5 inch HDD or SSD, so it will work.

I bought mine about a month ago and I have a original ps3 and it works great!Make sure you have a jump drive with the most current ps3 update though.

I used this to back up my PS3 to a WD5000 drive with no problem. Just be aware that the drive needs to be formatted to FAT32 for the PS3 to recognize it.

The PS3 indeed uses a FAT32 file system, you just download the application "CompuApps SwissKnife" you can get it from download.com and use it to format the drive to FAT32. I will be purchasing this drive and let you know how it works, as I too will be getting it for my PS3s 2nd birthday.

It should work, the same hdd is on my ps4 and mac and it's stock. It's thinner than usual, like 7mm instead of 9mm, but it works.

I've used this hard drive in my 80gb ps3. It's worked great so far. I probably have 20-30 downloadable games installed and still have plenty of space.

I don't know who is writing this comment, but this hard drive does not work with the PS3 Slim.
