The HD i purchased was for a 5yr old laptop which needed the power pins you refer too. This is probably not what you need.

Yes it will work. On a side note, when I replaced mine I accidently stripped two of the four screws on the metal housing of the hard drive. It's very easy to do, even if your careful. I would recommend having a jewelers screwdriver (Philips) and buy a spare housing for the hard drive just in case. They only cost a couple bucks and it will save you some time if an accident happens.

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.

There should be no issues with this drive, it fits in my Drobo which is the same size as the drive bay in the playstations.

Yes, this HDD works with the PS3. I bought this for my brother's PS3 and it works really good. I would recomend 1TB if you have alot of games, or planning on buying many games from PS Store.

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.

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

You would actually need a SATA HDD for the PS3, not a PATA HDD. Make sure it is a 5400 RPM HDD too. 7200 RPMs cause lockup issues.

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.

Yes. My PS3 is a 1st gen. Works great. Both 1st gen. and slims use the same hard drives.

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 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.

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)

The requirements for PS3 are a 2.5" internal Serial ATA HDD. Don'ts- Use speeds over 5,400 rpm- not Parallel ATA connection- Not more than 640 Gig size.This model appears to have all the qualifications. Here is web site that may provide you with assistance.http://www.exitstrategy.co.nz/ps3-hdd-replacement-help/ Good Luck

I am not sure, but I can say that the 60GB HDD that I got was a Seagate. I stuck it in my PS3, formatted it and it works great. I figured that for the price, I might as well give it a shot. It is still going strong. I would recommend it if you are looking for a budget HDD for your PS3. I don't know about any of the other HDDs that they sell, only the one I purchased.

The model number on my PS3 matched up with the advertised model. I installed it in about 10 minutes and have been using it ever since. You will have to remove the circuit board from the old drive. The new one will not have it, but it is easy.
