will this fit in a ps3? on the product description says that it's a 5200 RPM 2.5-inch SATA HDD, I know that ps3 uses 2.5 inches HDD but I wanted to make sure if it will fit inside a ps3 or not; does anyone knows?

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.

Actually this drive can be used perfectly fine with a PS3. I am currently using it as external memory for backup of any data as well as to watch movies on my TV after downloading them on my computer. The contents can be easily accessed if you simply go to any menu option such as Movies or Music on the PS3 and then pressing the Green Arrow on the PS3 controller to select the option "Display All". This will allow the PS3 to display all folders, instead of looking for Movies or Music in only the first folder of the drive and then giving you an error such as "No Information" or "No Files Located". After that you can just green arrow your way through the folders to find what you are looking for. Mind you however that while you are under the option Movies in the PS3 menu you will not be able to access Music while browsing the Folders on your My Book and vice-versa. Basically if you want to listen to Music stored on your My Book you would have to access the Music option on the PS3 menu, and then find the storage device and select Display All and go on from there. Same goes for everything else.

It does fit in a PS3 slim with a very slight modification to the HD caddy. I installed it about a month ago with no problems at all.

I am going to say this will definitely fit in the PS4 because I recently upgraded my PS4 with the (Model: WDBMYH0010BNC-NRSN) Western Digital drive and the "height" dimensions show as follows: 0.4 inch which is approximately 10.16 mm. When I put the 1TB drive in there was still plenty of room for more drive to fit in there! Hope this helps.

If you are trying to use this as an internal HDD, you might want to double check on the size there. That's a 3.5" HDD commonly used in desktops; unless you were planning on using this drive in an external HDD rig I would suggest you look into the 2.5" HDDs. *Suggestion: go with &lt;Western Digital Bare Drives 2.5 Inch, Low Profile, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8MB Cache 500GB Mobile Hard Drive, Blue WD5000LPVT&gt; it's only $3 more ($43.99) than that desktop HDD for double the capacity.

I'm not 100% sure I am answering your question correctly, however there is 1TB of HDD space on the drive, which performs at a much faster speed than a normal HDD because of the SSD sector. I am not sure of the actual space, however I do know I put this drive in my PS4 and it pretty dramatically reduced download speeds on games I play often.

Not sure it is formatted for PS3 as a Fat 32 flashdrive. I would just use a 2TB samsung internal drive for a little more $ personally

From my limited understanding, the PS3 uses a FAT32 file system and not a NTFS. Someone said the Iomega wont work with a PS3 because it uses NTFS. Not exactly sure what all this means since Im not a techie, but I am also hoping to buy this Western Digital if it works with PS3 rather the replacing and switching my 40g PS3 harddrive.

It fits. But the PS3 only recognizes 756GB maximum. So might as well get a smaller cheaper drive.

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.

It's a laptop hdd. I use it for a PS4. Its size is 2TB 5400RPM 32mb cache SATA 6.0 Gbps 2.5 inch drive 9.5mm height

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.

Truthfully I'm not sure. I used this hard drive to replace the one on my PS3. You'll have to do a little research before doing anything. Sorry I couldn't help.

No. You will need a 2.5 inch drive, this one is 3.5. There are instructions online for how to replace the HDD in the PS4.

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.

SATA 2.5 (laptop drives) work with this, SATA 3.5 (desktop computer hard drives) you need the bigger enclosure they also sell on amazon. I used this with my Playstation 3 hard drive. If you have the hard drive out already it should be about 2.5 inches width, if you bought it somehwere they should list it in the info in the specs.

I will move files between my PS3 and Computer using this device. So I will say it will work as an SSD. I will mention for the sake of conversation that it will not accept files larger than 4gb if you have it formatted with anything other than FAT32. My PS3 only reads NTSC formatting so it wont see anything with it if its FAT32. Saying that, of course, if its just purposed as an SSD then it will work fine for you and will hold files of any size as long as you format the CF card with FAT32. Hope this helps.
