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.

yes. you'll need to backup any prevous data off the old drive you want to keep. but i've been running mine in a ps3 and it works great.

It fits. But the PS3 only recognizes 756GB maximum. So might as well get a smaller cheaper drive.

Is it a regular PS3? Then yes.. If its a slim then NO Try these links. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/PlayStation+3+Slim+Hard+Drive+Replacement/3223 or for PS 4 try here:http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps4/691087-playstation-4/answers/361735-what-hard-drives-is-compatible-with-the-ps4

No, not as far as I know. This is an HD meant for Deskstops, I really doubt it will fit in your PS3/4.

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.

I don't have a PS3. But if a PS3 has a USB 2 port, it seems like it has to work as there must be some sort of USB 2 standard that allows such things as jump drives to be taken from one computer to another.

I am not a gamer, but the HDD you want to replace is an SATA 2.5 inch. The one you are asking me about, Western Digital Caviar Blue 320 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 8 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD3200AAJS, will not fit your PlayStation 3 because it is a 3.5 inch HDD made for a desktop. Any laptop 2.5 inch SATA HDD will work. Just make sure it is a 2.5 inch for a laptop.

Sorry no I put it in my ps4 and put the ps4 hard drive in my ps3. All I can say is it works great in the ps4.

1. Yes, this is compatible with PS3.2. 64mb cache will perform better than 32mb cache.

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

I believe it is a laptop hard drive. I had used it in my PS3. It should work just fine if you're using it in a laptop. But just in case I would research the hard drive size requirements, and also the RPM because you don't want to end up with a fried computer.

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

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.

the model number for my backwards compatible ps3 is CECha01. i thought that all 60gb ps3s were backwards compatible, but they are not because i bought one for my daughter on amazon recently and it wasn't backwards compatible. So if that's what you want, ask first.

Actually this drive can be used perfectly fine with a PS3. I am currently using it as external memory for backup of any data as well as to watch movies on my TV after downloading them on my computer. The contents can be easily accessed if you simply go to any menu option such as Movies or Music on the PS3 and then pressing the Green Arrow on the PS3 controller to select the option "Display All". This will allow the PS3 to display all folders, instead of looking for Movies or Music in only the first folder of the drive and then giving you an error such as "No Information" or "No Files Located". After that you can just green arrow your way through the folders to find what you are looking for. Mind you however that while you are under the option Movies in the PS3 menu you will not be able to access Music while browsing the Folders on your My Book and vice-versa. Basically if you want to listen to Music stored on your My Book you would have to access the Music option on the PS3 menu, and then find the storage device and select Display All and go on from there. Same goes for everything else.
