PS3? Does anybody know if this hard drive will work in a PS3 console?

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 should be. I'm actually using mine on a PS3 console and did not have any problems with it. You can also use it on an external 2.5 USB enclosure as a portable hard drive. go to apple support website for instructions on how to replace your hard drive.

I used this to back up my PS3 to a WD5000 drive with no problem. Just be aware that the drive needs to be formatted to FAT32 for the PS3 to recognize it.

No, not as far as I know. This is an HD meant for Deskstops, I really doubt it will fit in your PS3/4.

1) I'm sorry, I do not know. 2) Xbox does not really support 3rd party hard drives, I would just buy one thats Microsoft/Xbox branded.

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.

Yes, this is the same drive I put in my original ps3 system, It's very easy you can change it in less than 5 min. Make sure to copy your old HD save data onto a USB drive to transfer it to the new 500gb one.

yes. you'll need to backup any prevous data off the old drive you want to keep. but i've been running mine in a ps3 and it works great.

You would actually need a SATA HDD for the PS3, not a PATA HDD. Make sure it is a 5400 RPM HDD too. 7200 RPMs cause lockup issues.

The short answer is, yes, it will. The PS3 uses a Serial ATA for the sixty gigabite drive that default modle came with. The longer answer is, yes, but its kinda overkill: the PlayStation has a max disk I/O of `bout 3 Mb and this disk will support up to 6 Mb. You could probably find one cheaper (look for a SATA II) `round here; but this should work too. As far as replacing the disk itself, check out this Gamespot article: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-upgrade-your-playstation-3-hard-drive/1100-6176090/ as it seems to cover all the basics.

I believe it is a laptop hard drive. I had used it in my PS3. It should work just fine if you're using it in a laptop. But just in case I would research the hard drive size requirements, and also the RPM because you don't want to end up with a fried computer.

I would also like to get this HD for the ps3 ... Not sure why this wouldn't work ... Any confirmation out there??

Yes it does. All ps3 models share the same hard drive and this works with ps3.

Hi Patrick, this will not work in a PS4. You need a drive that is: 2.5 inch internal type (9.5mm or slimmer) and Serial ATA (Parallel ATA is not supported) Sorry about that.

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.
