Will i need a "TOMTOP Super Slim Hard Disk Drive Mounting Bracket for PS3..." while buying this Hard Drive? Or its not necessary?

The ps3 comes with a bracket to mount the hard drive already. I didn't need anything else but a screw driver.

It will work for all ps3 versions. No extra bracket needed. You only need a small cross head screw driver.

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

I've recently seen reference to a model number PS3-CDN. Is this different from the PS3 or just some type of manufacturer's model number for the same product? Thanks.

The short answer is, yes, it will. The PS3 uses a Serial ATA for the sixty gigabite drive that default modle came with. The longer answer is, yes, but its kinda overkill: the PlayStation has a max disk I/O of `bout 3 Mb and this disk will support up to 6 Mb. You could probably find one cheaper (look for a SATA II) `round here; but this should work too. As far as replacing the disk itself, check out this Gamespot article: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-upgrade-your-playstation-3-hard-drive/1100-6176090/ as it seems to cover all the basics.

the hard drive no problem as for the bracket i had to buy a bracket for the super slim so not sure if the fat bracket will work the brackets are reasonable in price on here it might be safer to get a new bracket in case the fat one don't fit.

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, 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.

For your ps3, ps4,laptop, or pc, you do not need a bracket. One should be supplied with your hard drive that is currently installed. However, to use your old hold drive as a backup, buy a hard drive enclosure. Don't forgot to buy the right screwdriver too!

yes it will! There is a plate on the front bottom right corner of the ps3 slim under the disk drive. I don't know how it goes in the others.

Baltodano if you dont mind your PS3 having a big old 3.5" HDD sitting on the outside then yes you can use this hdd. Just buy some SATA extion cables so that you can hook it up to your PS3.

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.

I want to say yeah considering my ps3 didn't have bracket or hardrive in it ,but not really sure because I had srews from anther ps3

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.

the PS3 comes standard with a 2.5" SATA hard drive. If you were to replace it your largest current option is one of the 500GB 2.5" Sata hard drives (Seagate,Hitachi, and others make them). The drives menioned above are 3.5" SATA hard drives that would not fit normally into the slot.That said you might be able to "make it work" with an external hard drive case and a SATA to eSATA adapter, but it would be extreme and non trivial.

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

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

yes, i installed mine, and im glad i did it before i started setting up my ps4. Would recommend for gamers. You can also upgrade it up to 2 TB (or more)
