Worked great but also had to purchase mounting bracket..s3 memory was not actually a hard drive it is some kind of internal flash..good luck

Yes, the hard drive will work. You might want to check it's speed and access rate to insure it is equal to or faster than your current drive. The larger the hard drive they longer the access time.

Yes it will work. That is exactly what I boughtbit for. The 1t is cool if you plan on buying a 4 because they are innerchangable. You have to formats going back and forth though so beware. As long as you stick with the 2.5" you will be fine.

I don't know what everyone else is talking about with mounting lots and all that but I bought this for my ps3 put a start up on a flash drive and in under an hour my crappy 20gb refurbished ps3 became a champ. Super easy I was mad that I hadn't don't it sooner. Needed nothing but this kit a flash drive and a screw driver.

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.

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've used this hard drive in my 80gb ps3. It's worked great so far. I probably have 20-30 downloadable games installed and still have plenty of space.

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

This is not the correct form factor for a PS3. Have a look at laptop drives.

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

I have thi for my ps3 and have had no issues with it. Your 3d has nothing to do with hard drive all this does is give you more space to hold more games.

The requirements for PS3 are a 2.5" internal Serial ATA HDD. Don'ts- Use speeds over 5,400 rpm- not Parallel ATA connection- Not more than 640 Gig size.This model appears to have all the qualifications. Here is web site that may provide you with assistance.http://www.exitstrategy.co.nz/ps3-hdd-replacement-help/ Good Luck

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

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.

It depends on what you mean by "will this work." If you mean "could I put the original ps4 hdd in this, put in a bigger drive, then use this as additional storage on my PS4?" I have no idea. If you mean "can I take the original PS4 hdd out and use this as an external drive for my computer?" the answer is yes.

Is it a regular PS3? Then yes.. If its a slim then NO Try these links. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/PlayStation+3+Slim+Hard+Drive+Replacement/3223 or for PS 4 try here:http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps4/691087-playstation-4/answers/361735-what-hard-drives-is-compatible-with-the-ps4

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.

It should fit. From what I can tell it has to be a 2.5" drive under 9mm in thickness and this one's spec says it is 0.28" just over 7mm (7.112mm). Look up one of the FAQs out there for PS3 HD install on Google for installation. HTH

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...

yes it does work i bought the 160 gig for my slim ps3 and it worked fine. you just need to buy a bracket for it to install it

I have a 512 GB in my PS4. There is little improvement. Hybrid drives seem to work the best in the PS4.

the model number for my backwards compatible ps3 is CECha01. i thought that all 60gb ps3s were backwards compatible, but they are not because i bought one for my daughter on amazon recently and it wasn't backwards compatible. So if that's what you want, ask first.

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!
