it can help ps3 prevent to get YLOD on 60 GB?

Yeah, the less heat the better for the system. Having the fan boosts the chances of extending your PS3's life by at least 3 years depending on how often you use it.

From what I understand...yes. I got the YLOD and since got my PS3 fixed. I bought this to help exhaust the hot air that can potentially cause YLOD.

The devise only pulls air/hot-air out of the unit when it's on. Since YLOD means the unit[CPU?] got too hot, it should hep prevent it. But remember, this is only a helper device, not a 100% fix, also, the PS3 doesn't give power to the USB ports when the PS3 unit is off, or in standby mode.So either setup an external power source to power the fan when PS3 is turned off, or let the PS3 sit at the menu doing nothing for a few minutes before turning the PS3 off.

PS3 super slim upgrade HDD uses: upto 1TB HDD 2.5" 9.5mm <--- remember, 5400RPM always, 7200 RPM might overheat.

Yes, this hard drive will be able to hold any game install up to 250 GB. I've installed battle field 3 and it works fine.

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

no just put it in and the psvita will do the rest. The card is already formatted you will just lose gigs on when reinstall your backup it should be 60gb at the start.

Hi, CamiliaThe ps3 is for a play station 3 for playing games. The WD hard drive is for computers the answer is no.

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.

If the harddrive you have has the default setting which the driver setup driver of the PS3 can install, it should be no problem. However, there are hard drive manufacture who utilize difference universal baseline default drivers. I bet it is a about 70% percent chance of success. However, if a person who does not have the credentials such as bachelor degree in this field and etc...it drops to 40/60.

the model number for my backwards compatible ps3 is CECha01. i thought that all 60gb ps3s were backwards compatible, but they are not because i bought one for my daughter on amazon recently and it wasn't backwards compatible. So if that's what you want, ask first.

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

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.

Camilia, The extra storage compartment on the PS3 is for a 2.5" drive. This one is an inch too large.In addition, according to the orignal specs, you'll need a 2.5" Sata 5400 RPM HDD which are 8MB, 12 ms, 3 Gbps. Going to a 7,200 may cause your PS 3 to overheat. In rare cases, the damage might be unrecoverable.

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.

Short answer no. You have to copy your file to the hdd and when you want to play it you have to copy it back to the ps3.

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

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