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.

Hi Patrick, this will not work in a PS4. You need a drive that is: 2.5 inch internal type (9.5mm or slimmer) and Serial ATA (Parallel ATA is not supported) Sorry about that.

Yes, I just purchased it for my son and it works. What I didn't know is that if you don't have the casing you need it also as that is what the hard drive sits in. Then you insert the whole thing in the ps3.

I have thi for my ps3 and have had no issues with it. Your 3d has nothing to do with hard drive all this does is give you more space to hold more games.

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.

Here is the short version... YES!!! Just put this HDD in the PS4 and it works beautifully. Be sure to get the PS4 firmware update on a USB storage device! You're going to need it.

Yes! I believe most 2.5 inch drives will fit in the PS3. Check the drive that's already in there for peace of mind before ordering!

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

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.

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

Yes! As long as you can unscrew the Harddrive that is currently in your ps3. I dropped a 500gb in fat ps3 I have but then bought a ps4 :( wasting money lol Don't forget to get your games off for the new drive. I recommend a 32gb flash drive!

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.

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.

I have a 500gb external hard drive and i can install any game on it. But Microsoft only allows you to use 32gb worth of momory out of the 500gb HDD. If i try to download the HD content for bf3 on the 500gb external hard drive am promted with a meassage; you need a xbox 360 hard drive to install this content. So what am asking is will this hard drive allow me to download the HD content or will i need to get an offical microsoft hard drive?. Thats my questuion. Sorry for this mix up!

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.

This is a great reliable drive to use in a ps3. I can't imagine it wouldn't work in a PS4 since it's a standard 2.5" drive. I use it to store all of my movies and watch them on the ps3. As far as loading times with games, I don't think it's any faster than the drive that came in my ps3. I highly recommend the drive. Just don't expect any speed increases with it.
