Yes! I believe most 2.5 inch drives will fit in the PS3. Check the drive that's already in there for peace of mind before ordering!

No! I had issues when installing into my PS3 - Locked Up and Corrupted my install. The 1tb works flawlessly in a PS3 the 1.5tb however does not. The 1.5tb is better served in a PS4 in which it runs fine.

Yes any 2.5" SATA HDD will work with your Playstation 3, it will have to be formatted and you will need the latest version of the Firmware ready on a Thumb Drive. See here: http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps3/pc_update/

1) I'm sorry, I do not know. 2) Xbox does not really support 3rd party hard drives, I would just buy one thats Microsoft/Xbox branded.

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.

Unfortunately you cannot. This is strictly a backup device. You can't even veiw whats on the drive from your PS3 it only shows each save as a file number usually including the date the save is made in with the sequence of numbers. You can delete older saves and apply previous saves through your PS3 backup utility that's about it. MAD

I have never owned a PS3, so i can't answer your question. You could google it or check on You Tube.

Alas, no. Like many modern hard drives, certain unique drive parameters are kept in the firmware ROM on the controller board, so swapping firmware will not work.There is a company that advertises they can do a firmware copy--you send them your dead controller board, they copy the firmware onto a new controller board and send it back. It's spendy and if the problem isn't the controller (or if the firmware on the controller is damaged) it won't work. You can reach them at http://www.hdd-parts.com/

Please remember that IF the hard drive is USED, then chances are that you would HAVE to format it FOR the PS3. It is QUITE simple. The PS3 has a format utility built into it. You can only use the Format of FAT32, as the PS3 doesn't recognize drives that are formatted using NTFS. If the hard drive is NEW< then it is usually pre-formatted already. To make things EASIER, you can format the drive using Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 or Win 8.1. ALL of those operating Systems have the "Command" prompt. Good hunting!!!! ^_^

The ps3 will automatically format it then after that it is good to go. Save all you data on a thumb drive or if you have playstation plus you can save it all online

Not sure it is formatted for PS3 as a Fat 32 flashdrive. I would just use a 2TB samsung internal drive for a little more $ personally

Ok my friend you can used any hard drive in any computer with USB port, the only problem is some computer read different format. So you to change the hard drive format than you can used.In my experience about computer,xbox & PS3 I used that program (Fat 32) is free and you can change the format a try. Let me know what happen.
