Why do I need a mounting bracket if I have the one with my ps3 (my old hdd)? is this not a standard disk?

I had to have a mounting bracket because I didn't have one to start with. If I installed the hard drive it would have fallen out, this bracket secures it with screws and it fit perfectly. Its not just a disc, it needs secured! I installed mine in less than 10 minutes for my son and I am a mom :). Very happy it worked so well!!

Because if you don't have mounting bracket hard drive won't fit it just flaps around I've heard of some ppl citing up old credit cards up to get out of buying the mounting bracket

What that means is that you need to update your PS3 system software to the latest version. It has nothing to do with your hard drive. Hope I was able to help.

Using the slim optical drive(slot), Slim Optical + 3.5-Inch Hard Drive Mounting Bracket for 5.25-Inch and (2)2.5 to 3.5 mounting bracket I was able to achieve exactly what you're asking,

If going in ps3 super spin they sell a metal slide bracket for it but u don't need it I slid it in place and put a small piece of duct tape to hold it from moving

No, this does not provide you with the bracket you would need to mount a hard drive in place of the DVD drive. The new Minis already have the bracket to house two hard drives, they just don't have the rubber grommets or the second SATA cable, which this kit provides.

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

I bought the 64 GB version and no, it is the drive unit only, no mounting hardware included.

if you have a HDD in it already with a bracket you can just use the one you have now

You would have to order that separately. Its a flush mount unit. I have mine mounted flat to the console.

no this piece is all you'll need to fit a harddrive onto a ps3 superslim. sony really should have included it.

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)

Hey Harold, This is EXACTLY why I bought this drive. It is now sitting between my XB1 and my PS$ and all my games are on the seagate...I am thrilled with this purchase!! Works perfectly!!

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.

Standard will work. I put a dead drive in the case to mount the drive cover. Drive needs to be in case for you to be able to use the cover.

No mounting bracket because it is an adapter for a pre existing 7 pin. It is not hardware.
