2 questions: is this compatible with the PS3? Is there a difference between the 32 mb and 64 mb cache?

1. Yes, this is compatible with PS3.2. 64mb cache will perform better than 32mb cache.

Yes it is compatible with PS3 and ps4 . And no the 64 ms cache will not effect the PS3 speed

I know nothing about game boxes. The more cache, the quicker the reads. I have never seen a noticeable difference in response time, it's there, but you're not going to see it.

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!

Hi Sandra, unfortunately I don't have a PS3 so I don't know if the two are compatible

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'm not really sure, but never buy this for the PS3. The lagging and freezing is far worse!

I don't know. I used it for my PS3 so I reformatted to it and it said it I was at 30.something GB. I think it needs a memory of what device its currently being used for. Try reformatting it.

Hi. I tried it in an external enclosure for my Windows 7 tower, and it did not work. It is likely that it was a chipset issue with the computer, but I have no knowledge about whether it will work with a ps3.

I bought mine about a month ago and I have a original ps3 and it works great!Make sure you have a jump drive with the most current ps3 update though.

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

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'd also like to know if this is compatible with the PS3. I've googled it but I've found different views on this. Thanks!

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.

Based on Sony's upgrade instructions, it looks like a 2.5 inch SATA drive like the WD will work in any PS3 model (https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-(hdd)). I have not had any trouble with the drive since installing it in my formerly-160BG PS3.

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.

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.

I had the unit with my original 20gig and it worked fine. Then I upgraded the the Slim and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to the latest firmware and ..... wait for it..... it works just fine ;-) I dont know about everyone else, but mine works just fine. I find it ironic that I am controlling my PS3 Slim with my Xbox 360 Harmony remote ;-)
