does this hard drive works 100% for a ps3??

It should work fine. But you might be better off getting a 1tb because disk space goes fast. Especially if you have ps plus. Also there are a lot of 1tb on amazon that is close to the same price.

Hi. I tried it in an external enclosure for my Windows 7 tower, and it did not work. It is likely that it was a chipset issue with the computer, but I have no knowledge about whether it will work with a ps3.

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

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

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

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.

I wouldn't recommend using this for a ps3 I'd go get an external bar drive for it. This is an internal and it could mess it up

Just to clarify everything. This WILL work in your PS4 just fine. You have to have a flash USB drive to insert the firmware update onto this hard drive after installation. This WILL NOT work on PS3. However, my suggestion to you is to simply wait for next month as Nyko is releasing a tech that replaces the 2.5 inch hard drive casing with a casing that will work with a 3.5 inch hard drive, that can handle up to 6 Terabytes. I already have a 4 Terabyte SSD hybrid ready. That would be the best bet. My terabyte SSD filled up months ago. Two Terabytes really isn't enough if you play a lot of games.

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.

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

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.

The label on the hdd says 3.0 gb/sec and 7200 rpm. I've read that the original ps3 hdd was 5400 rpm and a small speed increase can be expected in going to 7200 rpm.

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.

No. The console will only recognize games or games saved on internal hard drive. This insures games can't be copied from an outside source and are GENUINE PS3 purchased games. This external hard drive can store movies and photos that the console can display.

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 lolDon't forget to get your games off for the new drive. I recommend a 32gb flash drive!

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.

This is a SATA III 6Gb/s hard drive. The PS3 has a SATA II 3Gb/s connection. Here is a list of hard drives that should work. Copy and paste the url below into your browser address barhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/R3J292OYJK7HAF

I've installed it on my PS3 (original 60GB model) and the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB works just fine. Boot times are faster and so are read times. Installs (write times) are just as fast as any other 7200RPM drive I've used before. Before you remove your old drive, reboot it and time it just to get an idea of your boot times. Then install the new drive, boot it once then reboot it again. You'll notice a nice improvement over your old drive.
