Would this be an acceptable replacement for a 500 GB HDD For a PS3?

Yes, I have the 750GB in my PS3. Works like a champ. I am thinking of switching it out and using it in my PS4.
1750195
Yes. I felt is was a good choice in replacing a HD that was having problems. It was super easy to install and have been happily filling it up with demos and games alike.

Yes, I put it in my ps3. But after install and os u only get about 600g and change

No. The PS3 requires a 2.5" drive (for a laptop). This is a 3.5" drive (for a desktop).

I am not a gamer, but the HDD you want to replace is an SATA 2.5 inch. The one you are asking me about, Western Digital Caviar Blue 320 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 8 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD3200AAJS, will not fit your PlayStation 3 because it is a 3.5 inch HDD made for a desktop. Any laptop 2.5 inch SATA HDD will work. Just make sure it is a 2.5 inch for a laptop.

There should be no issues with this drive, it fits in my Drobo which is the same size as the drive bay in the playstations.

I wouldn't recommend using this for a ps3 I'd go get an external bar drive for it. This is an internal and it could mess it up

Baltodano if you dont mind your PS3 having a big old 3.5" HDD sitting on the outside then yes you can use this hdd. Just buy some SATA extion cables so that you can hook it up to your PS3.

I'm bought the same system in January and it does have a 500 GB hard drive. It works great and is well worth the money.

It should, I bought it to back up my PS3 since I have a 1 TB inside. I formatted it to FAT32 using a program (because you can't do it regularly) and it backed up perfectly.

The unit I purchased came with a 500GB HDD. I don't know if it's offered with other options.

Not sure what the drive specs are for the PS3, but if it uses a 2.5" drive like this one, then it should fit just fine.

Yes! I believe most 2.5 inch drives will fit in the PS3. Check the drive that's already in there for peace of mind before ordering!

Hi J. Logan...Your Sony takes a standard 2.5" HD, so this drive will work. By the way, I got the drive to add extra storage to my PS3 Slim. I use my PS3 a lot, & so far the drive is working perfectly. I'm really glad I got it... PS: I always do research when buying on-line, & this HD got consistently positive reviews...

You would actually need a SATA HDD for the PS3, not a PATA HDD. Make sure it is a 5400 RPM HDD too. 7200 RPMs cause lockup issues.

Yes, this HDD works with the PS3. I bought this for my brother's PS3 and it works really good. I would recomend 1TB if you have alot of games, or planning on buying many games from PS Store.

I installed this drive in a PS3, that transferred the PS3 system, you would need to transfer the one system you need.

I believe it is possible to use with a PS system. check and match with your current HD before buying and getting screwed.
