Yes, this is the same drive I put in my original ps3 system, It's very easy you can change it in less than 5 min. Make sure to copy your old HD save data onto a USB drive to transfer it to the new 500gb one.

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!

My disc reader stopped working about a year ago so I am reliant solely on downloading games and thus bought this for my original PS3 (purchased day 1 available in states). This hard-drive has worked fantastic in my system after bringing it in to a local shop for formatting and PS3 OS.

It works completely fine on my 12 gig ps3, so I'm sure it'll work on your 40 gig. But you also need to buy the holder for the hard drive, because just the hard drive won't work.

I have the original PS3, memory card ports and ps2 backwards compatibility and all. It'll work

i believe it will. i used a flash drive for the xbox to play grand theft auto 5. it's working well. just make sure the flash drive you buy is big enough for the game

the model number for my backwards compatible ps3 is CECha01. i thought that all 60gb ps3s were backwards compatible, but they are not because i bought one for my daughter on amazon recently and it wasn't backwards compatible. So if that's what you want, ask first.

I used this on a PS3 slim but dont think it would make any difference on backward compatibility.

it is true, i have the ps3 slim 300 gb and the screen is all frozen when the character is on the streets or driving a car

yes, but the 500g is a better choice. works well with the mounting bracket, just plug and play. 3CLeader Replacement Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Mounting Bracket HDD Caddy for Sony PlayStation 3 or PS3 System CECH-400x Series (http://amzn.com/B00FAI33V0)

Not sure bc I dont have experience PS3; however as long as you measure the diameter of your PS3 and make sure its not larger than the info of this case.

Yes, it does. Installing it into my husband's PS3 Slim and my PS3 Fat was easy too.

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.

Honestly I don't really do serial numbers/models, but to answer your question, it will only fit the fat version (first generation) PS3. Hopefully this helps. Good luck!

I do not think that it will work, Pull the existing hard drive out of the PS3 and look at the connections. A SATA drive has two connectors, one for power and the other for data and they are relatively narrow. An ATA drive has a connector that goes across the whole narrow width. The existing hard drive will also have a label that will tell you what it is.

This will work for any ps3 or ps4 where the installation will vary is if it is a PS3 slim it will need the mounting kit.

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
