Actually it doesn't void your warranty and it's extremely straightforward it took me about 10 minutes for the whole process not including backup and restore. Sony even includes instructions in the manual.

YES YES YES it fits had to do some mods but it does fit quite well. and the data transfer rate is sweet.

It does fit in a PS3 slim with a very slight modification to the HD caddy. I installed it about a month ago with no problems at all.

Yea true but there's a 1 TB by Samsung called spinpoint thats fits rite in p3 its da 1st 1TB that comes as p3 hdd size standard look it up I brought me 1 and highly recommend it 4 any who wants 1TB in there system

one word. ASTROGLIDE!P.S. no it will not find with the caddy. up to 9.5mm hdd so 750GB is the largest you can at the time of this post.
1330048
It fits. But the PS3 only recognizes 756GB maximum. So might as well get a smaller cheaper drive.

I would say no. At least for my case. I would assume that the slim PS3s have the same size case as the fat ones. The 1TB item you are looking at is 12.5mm and the hard drives that fit on the fat ps3 are 9.5mm. The highest gigs that i know of that will fit are the 750gb. The are 9.5mm. I've yet to find a 1TB hd that has a 9.5mm size. Hope this helps.

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.

Has there actually ever been a 5.25" HDD manufactured in the last 20 years? I don't believe I have ever seen a 5.25" HDD. I have HDDs sitting around that date back to about 1990 and all are 3.5". even my old IBM SCSI drives. I'd get a ruler if I were you and measure the drive.

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, it's the correct kind of drive for the PS4. However this drive is a 5400 RPM drive, and you'd get better performance from your PS4 if you use a 7200 RPM drive like the HGST Travelstar 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive, also available here on amazon.com for $79.99. The amazon page is at this link:HGST Travelstar 0S03563 1TB SATA Hard Drive KitGood luck!

The PS3 slim has a 2.5" sata hard drive. So the answer is yes. This will fit the PS3 fine.

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

Yes and no, I have had friends that have used ssd on there ps3 and the most they see is about 3 to 5 seconds. Which is an improvement, but not @ the cost of a ssd. Most of my other buddies just buy a 7200rpm hd or better for the same result and less cost.

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.

PS3 super slim upgrade HDD uses: upto 1TB HDD 2.5" 9.5mm <--- remember, 5400RPM always, 7200 RPM might overheat.
1407420
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.

No! I had issues when installing into my PS3 - Locked Up and Corrupted my install. The 1tb works flawlessly in a PS3 the 1.5tb however does not. The 1.5tb is better served in a PS4 in which it runs fine.

SATA 2.5 (laptop drives) work with this, SATA 3.5 (desktop computer hard drives) you need the bigger enclosure they also sell on amazon. I used this with my Playstation 3 hard drive. If you have the hard drive out already it should be about 2.5 inches width, if you bought it somehwere they should list it in the info in the specs.

This external hard drive contains a SATA-2 5400 rpm hard drive with a 8mb buffer.I would tell you the model number but it gets deleted when I post it.I would tell you how I know for sure but that gets deleted also.So in other words you just need to use your noodle and seek out the info you need; there are ways but this will probably get deleted to so what's the point in all of this?PS I Bought this thing and I have hands on experience with it!

Here is the short version... YES!!! Just put this HDD in the PS4 and it works beautifully. Be sure to get the PS4 firmware update on a USB storage device! You're going to need it.

This is a SATA III 6Gb/s hard drive. The PS3 has a SATA II 3Gb/s connection. Here is a list of hard drives that should work. Copy and paste the url below into your browser address barhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/R3J292OYJK7HAF

The maximum drive you can put in any playstation is 1tb. For external drives, it will read up to 2tb. Of course with external, you can partition a 4tb drive into 2x2tb; which will also work. But to answer your question, The drive is 931gb, no matter what kind of format is used on it. After putting a 1tb in my ps3 slim, formatting, and restoring about 25gb of save data, I had a little over 800gb free. So I would approximate about 825gb with a fresh start.
