Momentus XT Solid State Hybrid in a PS3: Not sure if the solid state memory will make that big of a difference, but has anybody installed one of these in a PS3?

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.

I wouldn't unless you know that the ps3 internals use a sata 2 data and power cable and you would also need a copy of the Sony PS3 OS in order to make the swap, so in all yes but research a lot.

"J. Chin says: Any updates? Does this keyboard now allow for the mapping of a "Start" and "PS" button?! Please advise, I'm thinking of getting a keyboard but I don't know which one to buy for the ps3. The $80 doesn't seem to work that well (well, it's imperfect without any way to overcome its flaws)."J.Chin,Is the $80 keyboard that you refer to the Playstation 3 Logitech Cordless Mediaboard, or the newer Playstation 3 Logitech Cordless Mediaboard Pro (with the PS3 keys)?

I apologize I don't have the link here at the moment. But Sony did confirm that the T500RS, T80, and soon to release T300 are compatible with both PS3 and PS4. The T300 and T80 have switches for PS3 and PS4 modes, as well as Share button for PS4. Even though it doesn't have the PS4 buttons, it is so far the only PS3 wheel that works with PS4.

yep, that what I was afraid of but I did see that the PS3 will play SA-CD and output it as DTS over HDMI...hmmm....another reason to get a PS3

Mine is installed in my ps4 and it is much faster than the 5400rpm stock. It boots, sleeps, and shuts off twice as fast as my friends with the stock drive. I'm sure you'd see performance boosts in a laptop or pc

PS3 allows replacement of the internal hdd. "The HDD must be a 2.5" internal Serial ATA HDD." as quoted from the support pages:https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-(hdd)So therefore, in principle, this SanDisk should work. Having said that, I had to return mine in two weeks as it has become completely inoperative. Be prepared to test first. Whatever you end up getting for your PS3, leave it on for a couple of days and make sure that you have a zero cost return policy for at least 30 days.

I don't have a PS3. I would suggest going into corsairs web site forums and sak there. That way you would get a better answer.

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.

Yes and no, I have had friends that have used ssd on there ps3 and the most they see is about 3 to 5 seconds. Which is an improvement, but not @ the cost of a ssd. Most of my other buddies just buy a 7200rpm hd or better for the same result and less cost.

Did this work for your ps3 super slim? I'm trying to upgrade my storage compacity.

Unfortunately, when I plugged it up to my PlayStation 3, the light came on, indicating that it was on, but the PS3 didn't see it at all. It may be because it's formatted to NTFC by default and I think that the PS3 only reads FAT32 format. That should make it add additional space.

I placed it on BD, But I really dont think it matters.. And no i didnt find any issue hooking my ps3 to this system. I actually enjoy it very much and the sound is great. just remember to set your sound setting on the ps3 to HDMI-LCPM and your ss360 to AFD STD..

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 .

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, I've had one installed in my PS4 for three months w/ no problems at all. Just make sure that you download the "full-version" of the PS4 firmware and save to a USB flash drive. Unlike PS3, there are two versions of the firmware files (one for existing upgrades, and one for full-install). http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps4/new-install/
