Can I use this drive with my PS3?

I think it came with the software so you can choose how you want it formatted. You plug it into your pc, choose FAT32 (or their option for use with a playstation) and then it will work on your ps3.

I haven't used mine yet, but it will come formatted in NTFS. It's kind of a given. Though you can virtually use any portable hard drive with the PS3 or Linux. All you need to do is download a little program called fat32format, and you can format the hard drive in FAT32 (Which the PS3 can read) regardless of size. I did this with a 500 GB and a 1 TB hard drive for my PS3.

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/

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...

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.

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.

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:

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.

I'm going to disagree with Robert Robinson. His link describes connecting an external hard drive via USB. This drive is an internal drive with an IDE/PATA interface. It may be possible to put this drive into an external enclosure that exposes a USB interface but I don't think that's what you're asking (and it would require an additional purchase of said enclosure).https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362The above link indicates that the PS3 uses a 2.5" internal SATA (Serial ATA) drive. It specifically states that PATA (Parallel ATA) is not supported. I'm going to disagree with Robert Robinson. His link describes connecting an external hard drive via USB.

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.

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.

No, not as far as I know. This is an HD meant for Deskstops, I really doubt it will fit in your PS3/4.

yes, but the 500g is a better choice. works well with the mounting bracket, just plug and play. 3CLeader® Replacement Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Mounting Bracket HDD Caddy for Sony PlayStation 3 or PS3 System CECH-400x Series (http://amzn.com/B00FAI33V0)

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

Sorry no I put it in my ps4 and put the ps4 hard drive in my ps3. All I can say is it works great in the ps4.

This would work as a external drive, just remember it is a FAT32 hard drive. We used to download information from the PS3 and it had to be FAT32.

If the PS3 has bluetooth function, it can. Just check the PS3 manual or bluetooth icon/logo on the device.
