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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I do not know if it will work on a PS3 12GB. I put it in a laptop which is working fine at this point.

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 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 it works on the super slim ps3 version with 12 gb. I bought the hard drive along with an installation bracket and fit into place fine. then all the data on the ps3 is transferred over to the hard drive.

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.

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

I am not sure, but I can say that the 60GB HDD that I got was a Seagate. I stuck it in my PS3, formatted it and it works great. I figured that for the price, I might as well give it a shot. It is still going strong. I would recommend it if you are looking for a budget HDD for your PS3. I don't know about any of the other HDDs that they sell, only the one I purchased.

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

What that means is that you need to update your PS3 system software to the latest version. It has nothing to do with your hard drive. Hope I was able to help.

It should, I bought it to back up my PS3 since I have a 1 TB inside. I formatted it to FAT32 using a program (because you can't do it regularly) and it backed up perfectly.

I don't know who is writing this comment, but this hard drive does not work with the PS3 Slim.
