can it work on ps3 12gb?

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 do not know if it will work on a PS3 12GB. I put it in a laptop which is working fine at this point.

yes it works on the super slim ps3 version with 12 gb. I bought the hard drive along with an installation bracket and fit into place fine. then all the data on the ps3 is transferred over to the hard drive.

I bought this not to long ago and besides having to buy a mounting kit it works fine.

Even I am looking for a similar answer. Please let me know if this or some other one that particularly works with PS3. 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.

I would guess off hand no, because a PS3 is more or less Linux based and you would have to find the specific drivers to get it to run.

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

I don´t know but I think it will work if the ps3 has the connections since it only transfers the video not audio. Hope that helps...

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

I don't have a PS3 so I can't test it but there's no reason why it shouldn't. It's just a PS2 to USB adapter and should actually work for most consoles. I would bet $20 that it works fine on PS3 slim.

No it won't. It needs special software to activate the 1TB partition. PS4 would only see 120GB.

Yes it does. This was the sole purpose for me purchasing the drive and it works great. As long as you follow the instructions on reinstalling the PS3 firmware onto the drive, you should have no issues. You'll notice a substantial speed increase for system boot and installing/running games. The capacity helps as well.

I think yes. I used it in my ps3 and it worked. Same idea but different console.

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!

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.

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, it should be. I'm actually using mine on a PS3 console and did not have any problems with it. You can also use it on an external 2.5 USB enclosure as a portable hard drive. go to apple support website for instructions on how to replace your hard drive.
