As long as you get an external 3.5" enclosure for it that supports USB and is powered. An external 2.5" 500gb would be better since you wouldn't need a power cable.

You have to check the actual physical size of your hard drive. This one fits a 2.5 inch space. I used mine for my ps3 and works great. Should work I'd guess

Yes, I just purchased it for my son and it works. What I didn't know is that if you don't have the casing you need it also as that is what the hard drive sits in. Then you insert the whole thing in the ps3.

No, the PS3 will format the drive for you with no problems. Pretty much plug and play. I HIGHLY recommend backing up your original PS3 hard drive before swapping. Then, simply plug it in. It will format. Then restore your files. All will be well. It will not mess up your PS3. I tried using a solid state drive. That didn't work at all. Crashed a couple of times. Since I've used this drive...no problems. It works great. I was able to download and install DC Universe!!! Which took forever to download and install, but with this big a drive it was no problem at all.

Not sure. It comes formatted for NTFS. I don't know what format PS4 uses. At worst you should be able to reformat it to anything if you have the right software. The drives hardware should support it.

Based on Sony's upgrade instructions, it looks like a 2.5 inch SATA drive like the WD will work in any PS3 model (https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-(hdd)). I have not had any trouble with the drive since installing it in my formerly-160BG PS3.

I use the hard drive for my Asus laptop so I have no experience using the hard drive on a ps3

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.

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.

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.

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.

1. Yes, this is compatible with PS3. 2. 64mb cache will perform better than 32mb cache.

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.
