Yes. Theres no difference in requirements for hard drives between ps3 vs slim model

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

Yes any 2.5" SATA HDD will work with your Playstation 3, it will have to be formatted and you will need the latest version of the Firmware ready on a Thumb Drive. See here: http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps3/pc_update/

I don't have a PS3 so I can't test it but there's no reason why it shouldn't. It's just a PS2 to USB adapter and should actually work for most consoles. I would bet $20 that it works fine on PS3 slim.

I bought mine about a month ago and I have a original ps3 and it works great!Make sure you have a jump drive with the most current ps3 update though.

I would say no. At least for my case. I would assume that the slim PS3s have the same size case as the fat ones. The 1TB item you are looking at is 12.5mm and the hard drives that fit on the fat ps3 are 9.5mm. The highest gigs that i know of that will fit are the 750gb. The are 9.5mm. I've yet to find a 1TB hd that has a 9.5mm size. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

I used this for my PS3.... if the laptop is sata and you can install the OS on it.... You should be good....

The PS3 slim has a 2.5" sata hard drive. So the answer is yes. This will fit the PS3 fine.

This will work for any ps3 or ps4 where the installation will vary is if it is a PS3 slim it will need the mounting kit.

I installed this drive in a PS3, that transferred the PS3 system, you would need to transfer the one system you need.

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

MJ@NeweggRating: Review Date: 07/21/09Great drive works well with ps3Cons: Not any yet and hopefully never. Pros: This is a really good drive and comes already formatted in FAT32 so you can plug right into the ps3. It is really small and quiet. Comment:

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.

The PS3 indeed uses a FAT32 file system, you just download the application "CompuApps SwissKnife" you can get it from download.com and use it to format the drive to FAT32. I will be purchasing this drive and let you know how it works, as I too will be getting it for my PS3s 2nd birthday.
