Can i use this hard drive to replace the hard drive in my playstation 3?

I am not a gamer, but the HDD you want to replace is an SATA 2.5 inch. The one you are asking me about, Western Digital Caviar Blue 320 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 8 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD3200AAJS, will not fit your PlayStation 3 because it is a 3.5 inch HDD made for a desktop. Any laptop 2.5 inch SATA HDD will work. Just make sure it is a 2.5 inch for a laptop.

I replaced the sata 160gb,in my e-machine,with this one.I checked the space,under the dvd burner,and it was large enough to put the 320gb,in.Check your space,for a larger harddrive fit.All that matters,is if you have the room to put the 3.5 harddrive in.I have the space,for the larger harddrive.

Yes, it will, it is 2.5 inch SSD and PS3 HDD is 2.5 inch, so it can be replaced with other 2.5 inch HDD or SSD, so it will work.

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

It should fit. From what I can tell it has to be a 2.5" drive under 9mm in thickness and this one's spec says it is 0.28" just over 7mm (7.112mm). Look up one of the FAQs out there for PS3 HD install on Google for installation. HTH

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)

No. If it's for your Playstation 3, all you need is the cradle that held the original hard drive.

No, this is a 3.5 inch drive and PS3 requires a 2.5" drive for the internal drive in order to upgrade, and remember, when you swap internal drives on a PS3 you have to manually backup your data and restore it to the new drive.

It should work. . . The sleep function is a property of the PlayStation, not the hard drive firmware.

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.

Are you asking about the actual hard drive inside the storage module? According to the Seagate forums while it is designed to be a "no user serviceable parts inside" component, it is technically possible to crack open the module and put in a new hard disk, but not recommended unless you REALLY know what you are doing. As for swapping out the storage module itself with a new one from the same model GoFlex, that's easy. Just pop the old one off and put a new one in.

No- you'll need a 9.5mm thick or less 2.5" drive for PS4. This 3.5" way too big.

I used this to back up my PS3 to a WD5000 drive with no problem. Just be aware that the drive needs to be formatted to FAT32 for the PS3 to recognize it.

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.

Yes, you can use it in a PS3. For the Slim, if it's one of the 12GB systems, you have to buy a mounting bracket since those do not come with a HDD.

This is a SATA III 6Gb/s hard drive. The PS3 has a SATA II 3Gb/s connection. Here is a list of hard drives that should work. Copy and paste the url below into your browser address barhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/R3J292OYJK7HAF
