PS3 compatible???? Can anyone tell me if this hard drive will work on a ps3?? 1TB of space in a ps3 would be awesome.

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

As long as you get an external 3.5" enclosure for it that supports USB and is powered. An external 2.5" 500gb would be better since you wouldn't need a power cable.

Yes! I believe most 2.5 inch drives will fit in the PS3. Check the drive that's already in there for peace of mind before ordering!

I have a 512 GB in my PS4. There is little improvement. Hybrid drives seem to work the best in the PS4.

i think it is old and not good for PS4 ( if you notice 5400 RPM is too old tech ) , PS4 needs better but you must see compatible HDD in sony website like i did with this Samsung HDD 1 TB i saw it in the website it was recommended by sony for the PS3 .

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

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/

From the reviews I've seen on Newegg, yes, this drive can upgrade a PS3 since it's 9.5mm height. I plan on buying one this week to upgrade my 120GB slim so I have more storage for the new wave of PS Plus games coming out

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!

Quick questions as i am looking to buy this. When you say older PS3 what do you mean? My PS3 is the first gen 80gb and im wondering if I will have problems. Thanks

You would actually need a SATA HDD for the PS3, not a PATA HDD. Make sure it is a 5400 RPM HDD too. 7200 RPMs cause lockup issues.

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.

I have thi for my ps3 and have had no issues with it. Your 3d has nothing to do with hard drive all this does is give you more space to hold more games.
