Yes, you can use this 1TB to upgrade your 80GB PS3. I have the old backwards compatible 60GB PS3 system and upgraded it two days ago with this HDD and it has been working great. You can back up your PS3 using an External HD, so you won't lose your saved games, pics, etc. Once you put the new HD in the PS3 it will be formatted. After, restore the PS3 with the external HD and everything will be on your new 1TB HD. Hope this information helps.

Yes! I used it for my PS3. No formatting required, plug and play and no difference in speed

Quick questions as i am looking to buy this. When you say older PS3 what do you mean? My PS3 is the first gen 80gb and im wondering if I will have problems. Thanks

What that means is that you need to update your PS3 system software to the latest version. It has nothing to do with your hard drive. Hope I was able to help.

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

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.

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.

I don't have a PS3 but if you format the drive to FAT32 it should work fine

Way too much information. Short answer: Yes. Long answer: You already have a 5400 RPM SATA drive, so all you're doing is upgrading the size.

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

I use an internal 1 TB HDD. Never try a 3 TB HDD. It is not a "1080P HD", and I have a fatal problem with it.

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.

Yes, I have the 750GB in my PS3. Works like a champ. I am thinking of switching it out and using it in my PS4.

Sorry, not worth it for the ps3 since very few games would take advantage of it, especially so late in the PS3's life cycle. Also, the PS3's blu-ray drive is extremely slow (2xCAV) compared to the PS4's so it would bottleneck the SSHD anyway. It might be worth it if you only play digital games though.

No, the PS3 will format the drive for you with no problems. Pretty much plug and play. I HIGHLY recommend backing up your original PS3 hard drive before swapping. Then, simply plug it in. It will format. Then restore your files. All will be well. It will not mess up your PS3. I tried using a solid state drive. That didn't work at all. Crashed a couple of times. Since I've used this drive...no problems. It works great. I was able to download and install DC Universe!!! Which took forever to download and install, but with this big a drive it was no problem at all.
