I want to know if this is the right for drive for my playstation. Mine is the slim model 120GB and the last of the serial # is CECH-2001A?

It should be the 450aaa but you need to check the laser model on the laser deck to be sure.

Yes, this laser/deck model will work with the CECH-2001A, if you haven't already found out how to take apart the PS3 to replace the drive this video was really helpful on how to take it apart and put it back together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuBKaEC7nfg Also, this site has the step by step images of how to take apart the PS3 to replace the drive (if you don't want to go through the entire video). https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/PlayStation+3+Slim+Blu-ray+Disc+Drive+Replacement/3228

It should work fine. But you might be better off getting a 1tb because disk space goes fast. Especially if you have ps plus. Also there are a lot of 1tb on amazon that is close to the same price.

Based on Sony's upgrade instructions, it looks like a 2.5 inch SATA drive like the WD will work in any PS3 model (https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-(hdd)). I have not had any trouble with the drive since installing it in my formerly-160BG PS3.

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.

The best that I can say is ask online, all I can tell you personally is the early models are backwards compatible but not for all ps1 games, I don't know about the slimmer console or make the trip to a gaming store and ask.

You have to put a jump drive in there, in the back. * 2GB seems to be the best idea, minimum. * But you can't use just any jump drive, because the slot is deeper and more narrow than you typically find on electronics (thanks a lot, Sony). * And (as if that wasn't annoying enough) I just got one to fit, but the 350 still won't recognize it. * Look at the owners manual, and there is a page about external memory where they suggest a Sony product by a specific serial number. I think that's what I am gonna try. * At the end of the day, the BD-Live content looks to be a lot of nonsense, but I've gotten sorta Ahab/Moby Dick about this task, and will pursue it to pointless depths. Good luck.

Did this work for your ps3 super slim? I'm trying to upgrade my storage compacity.

I've used this hard drive in my 80gb ps3. It's worked great so far. I probably have 20-30 downloadable games installed and still have plenty of space.

Yes, it's the correct kind of drive for the PS4. However this drive is a 5400 RPM drive, and you'd get better performance from your PS4 if you use a 7200 RPM drive like the HGST Travelstar 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive, also available here on amazon.com for $79.99. The amazon page is at this link: http://www.amazon.com/HGST-Travelstar-2-5-Inch-7200RPM-Internal/dp/B0097LG9U8/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1385788041&sr=1-2&keywords=1+tb+7200+rpm+hard+drive Good luck!

I installed this hard drive in a CECH-4301A. At first I had a bit of an issue assuring it was properly inserted but as I soon as I did, the hard drive works fine. Funny thing though - I was never prompted to install a system update from my USB drive like I read about.

MJ@NeweggRating: Review Date: 07/21/09Great drive works well with ps3Cons: Not any yet and hopefully never. Pros: This is a really good drive and comes already formatted in FAT32 so you can plug right into the ps3. It is really small and quiet. Comment:

I had the unit with my original 20gig and it worked fine. Then I upgraded the the Slim and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to the latest firmware and ..... wait for it..... it works just fine ;-) I dont know about everyone else, but mine works just fine. I find it ironic that I am controlling my PS3 Slim with my Xbox 360 Harmony remote ;-)

PS3 allows replacement of the internal hdd. "The HDD must be a 2.5" internal Serial ATA HDD." as quoted from the support pages:https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-(hdd)So therefore, in principle, this SanDisk should work. Having said that, I had to return mine in two weeks as it has become completely inoperative. Be prepared to test first. Whatever you end up getting for your PS3, leave it on for a couple of days and make sure that you have a zero cost return policy for at least 30 days.

It works in the super slim ps3 I used it in my 250 GB model not sure if it works in the first slim but any new ps3 to date this will work

Yes it's a super slims well that's what my friend just told me. But you should buy from EZCORP they are awesome I had a small problem with something missing and they shipped it to me in a heartbeat. I recently bought a PS4 from them.

I have a 512 GB in my PS4. There is little improvement. Hybrid drives seem to work the best in the PS4.
