I have a PS3 with 80 of total hard drive space, but at this point most of my space is taken. Will this hard drive work on my PS3? And I am debating on getting either this hard drive, or the 1T sized hard drive. Any advice?

Yes, this HDD works with the PS3. I bought this for my brother's PS3 and it works really good. I would recomend 1TB if you have alot of games, or planning on buying many games from PS Store.

Yes! I installed it in my PS3 Slim. Get the DreamSky® Super Slim Hard Disk Drive HDD Mounting Bracket For PS3 CECH-400x SeriesPS3 if you can't remove the current drive from the bracket. I had problems with the screws on the original. This this the trick. The drive is working great. You do need to use a USB to install a file to get the hard drive to work. The instructions are on the PS3 site on how to upgrade a HD.

This HDD does work well with the PS4. Those who have had problems are those who don't have 1.70 software, or later, running on their PS4. Just make sure that you also format the USB drive to FAT32. I recommend you have 1.70 software or later already running on your PS4, then switching out HDDs. Also make sure the software you use to reinitialize is around 900MB. There is another with the same name that is around 300MB, this would be the wrong one and lead to errors.

I believe the ps3's use the same kind of hard drive as a computer. Just be sure you reformat the drive so nothing is on it and when you plug it into your playstation, it will format to whatever the playstation uses.

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 have a 500gb external hard drive and i can install any game on it. But Microsoft only allows you to use 32gb worth of momory out of the 500gb HDD. If i try to download the HD content for bf3 on the 500gb external hard drive am promted with a meassage; you need a xbox 360 hard drive to install this content. So what am asking is will this hard drive allow me to download the HD content or will i need to get an offical microsoft hard drive?. Thats my questuion. Sorry for this mix up!

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!

I have actually tried it with a 2TB HDD and it worked fine. Loaded up with no issues. It should definitely work with a 3TB HDD, 1TB shouldn't make a difference. You would definitely enjoy it, i sure am.

Yes, I have the 750GB in my PS3. Works like a champ. I am thinking of switching it out and using it in my PS4.

In order to BACK UP the Game files (as in to transfer data WITHOUT using the PS3's built-in method) you must CHANGE the FORMAT of this hard drive from whatever it comes as ( probably NTSC or something ) To FAT32. There exists free programs online to convert Hard drives formats, be careful wit that though.

I would also like to get this HD for the ps3 ... Not sure why this wouldn't work ... Any confirmation out there??

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 use the hard drive for my Asus laptop so I have no experience using the hard drive on a ps3

just like you i'm not a tech savvy but this item is working perfect on my ps4and 1.5 tb is better than 1tb ;) (the 500gb from my ps4, I installed it on my ps3)

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.
