Can this be used to upgrade the hard drive in a ps3?

From the reviews I've seen on Newegg, yes, this drive can upgrade a PS3 since it's 9.5mm height. I plan on buying one this week to upgrade my 120GB slim so I have more storage for the new wave of PS Plus games coming out

Not sure used it to replace a hard drive in a computer system. Check the documentation for the device you plan to use it in for compatibility

Hello there,To be perfectly honest with you, I am not entirely sure as I am not an expert when it comes to hard drives. I actually only recently got a PS3 and have not ever removed the hard drive from it.So, I am sorry that I cannot be of more help.Kindest regards,- Derek

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.

Not sure it is formatted for PS3 as a Fat 32 flashdrive. I would just use a 2TB samsung internal drive for a little more $ personally

Yes, there is no reason it will not fit in your ps3 just as the 80 GB does.

Yes you can, thats pretty much what we used it for and also to transfer all the old data from the old hard drive to a newer one.

Not sure. It comes formatted for NTFS. I don't know what format PS4 uses. At worst you should be able to reformat it to anything if you have the right software. The drives hardware should support it.

I don't have a PS3. But if a PS3 has a USB 2 port, it seems like it has to work as there must be some sort of USB 2 standard that allows such things as jump drives to be taken from one computer to another.

This would work as a external drive, just remember it is a FAT32 hard drive. We used to download information from the PS3 and it had to be FAT32.

Please remember that IF the hard drive is USED, then chances are that you would HAVE to format it FOR the PS3. It is QUITE simple. The PS3 has a format utility built into it. You can only use the Format of FAT32, as the PS3 doesn't recognize drives that are formatted using NTFS. If the hard drive is NEW< then it is usually pre-formatted already. To make things EASIER, you can format the drive using Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 or Win 8.1. ALL of those operating Systems have the "Command" prompt. Good hunting!!!! ^_^

PS3 allows replacement of the internal hdd. "The HDD must be a 2.5" internal Serial ATA HDD." as quoted from the support pages:https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-(hdd)So therefore, in principle, this SanDisk should work. Having said that, I had to return mine in two weeks as it has become completely inoperative. Be prepared to test first. Whatever you end up getting for your PS3, leave it on for a couple of days and make sure that you have a zero cost return policy for at least 30 days.

Yes it does. This was the sole purpose for me purchasing the drive and it works great. As long as you follow the instructions on reinstalling the PS3 firmware onto the drive, you should have no issues. You'll notice a substantial speed increase for system boot and installing/running games. The capacity helps as well.

If you want to use this as an external drive for the PS3 then you will have to get an external drive case to hold this 3.5" SATA drive. Before that, I suggest you go to http://www.ps3mediaserver.org and ask your question from the experts and see what their thoughts are regarding the Seagate drive.

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.
