what it is the model ps3 cech-xxxx?

It means it can be a CECHExx, CECHKxx, CECHLxx, or CECHMxx. Those are different model codes for the 80gb Ps3. The difference? Colors and USB port number. It's most likely the CECHExx which has 4 ports and is piano black. It's the most common FAT version that plays Ps2 and Ps1 games.

What do you mean by this "Hello, The model is CECHE01. This thing only lasted 3 months after I got it. Thanks"

I've recently seen reference to a model number PS3-CDN. Is this different from the PS3 or just some type of manufacturer's model number for the same product? Thanks.

Only the 60gb version(CECHA01) is truly backwards compatible with 98% of PS1 and PS2 games. The 80gb(CECHK01) uses software emulation and has much less compatibility(80%+/-). No other models have backwards capabilities.

I have the original PS3, memory card ports and ps2 backwards compatibility and all. It'll work

I'm not sure what type screw head the cech 2001a ps3 has, but this kit contains the following torx bits; Star (Torx) No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No. 8, No. 9, No. 10, No. 15, No. 20; SO, if it is a torx head then most likely this will open it

Did your ps3 come with a mounting kit? You can find more information at this website https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5006/~/install-hard-disk-drive-%2812gb-ps3-%2F-cech-4201a%29 If you don't have a mounting kit they are inexpensive on amazon.

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=n82e16822242002 on this link under a con it says its formatted to fat 32 which is what the PS3 can read.

Yes! I installed it in my PS3 Slim. Get the DreamSky® Super Slim Hard Disk Drive HDD Mounting Bracket For PS3 CECH-400x SeriesPS3 if you can't remove the current drive from the bracket. I had problems with the screws on the original. This this the trick. The drive is working great. You do need to use a USB to install a file to get the hard drive to work. The instructions are on the PS3 site on how to upgrade a HD.

Based on Sony's upgrade instructions, it looks like a 2.5 inch SATA drive like the WD will work in any PS3 model (https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-(hdd)). I have not had any trouble with the drive since installing it in my formerly-160BG PS3.

No, the CECH3001A models are the 160GB Slims. This drive is only for the 120GB and 250GB models (CECH2001A). Look for the drive that coincides with the 160GB Slim model.

depends on the model as the first ones CECHA01 and CECHB01 (30 GB and 60 GB, and the 80GB Gear Metal Solid ed) had an extra chip for backward compatibility with ps and ps2 disks, the next gen did it by software emulation and mostly for some ps2 disks (and no problem with titles directly downloaded from the store) but the slim version and later are not backward compatible. If your old console (I have 3) has on its left side a cover for the memory stick, sd memory card and compact flash reader; and has 4 usb ports, then you can play with no problem your original ps one and 2 disks

Nope: On the PS it says SS-660XP. ON the front of the box it has a sticker which says "2013 compliant"

Yeah it's compatible with 1 and 2 ps, and the model number I believe isn't the same of the other

I'm not really sure, but never buy this for the PS3. The lagging and freezing is far worse!
