Is this Compatible with the 1st Generation PS3? I own an 80GB system and I'm looking to replace its Hard Drive with the one shown here.

I do not think that it will work, Pull the existing hard drive out of the PS3 and look at the connections. A SATA drive has two connectors, one for power and the other for data and they are relatively narrow. An ATA drive has a connector that goes across the whole narrow width. The existing hard drive will also have a label that will tell you what it is.

Yes it will work. On a side note, when I replaced mine I accidently stripped two of the four screws on the metal housing of the hard drive. It's very easy to do, even if your careful. I would recommend having a jewelers screwdriver (Philips) and buy a spare housing for the hard drive just in case. They only cost a couple bucks and it will save you some time if an accident happens.

Yes, you can use it in a PS3. For the Slim, if it's one of the 12GB systems, you have to buy a mounting bracket since those do not come with a HDD.

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.

Yes. My PS3 is a 1st gen. Works great. Both 1st gen. and slims use the same hard drives.

I had the unit with my original 20gig and it worked fine. Then I upgraded the the Slim and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to the latest firmware and ..... wait for it..... it works just fine ;-) I dont know about everyone else, but mine works just fine. I find it ironic that I am controlling my PS3 Slim with my Xbox 360 Harmony remote ;-)

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.

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.

Truthfully I'm not sure. I used this hard drive to replace the one on my PS3. You'll have to do a little research before doing anything. Sorry I couldn't help.

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.

Did this work for your ps3 super slim? I'm trying to upgrade my storage compacity.

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 it will work with a PS3 I have over 125 Games installed on my PS3 and love having access to all these games with out having to change the disc. Also PS+ will help in filling your Hard Drive if you don't have it yet.

This hard drive works in any model of ps3 and is very easy to install and has PLENTY of room. I have 650 gigs left of space. You will need to be the install kit also but it is cheap.
