can I use this in my fat 80 gb ps3 as a upgraded hardrive?

I wouldn't unless you know that the ps3 internals use a sata 2 data and power cable and you would also need a copy of the Sony PS3 OS in order to make the swap, so in all yes but research a lot.

I've never pulled apart my PS3 but if the specs give it the some demintions and hook up's I don't see why not

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

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 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

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.

MJ@NeweggRating: Review Date: 07/21/09Great drive works well with ps3Cons: Not any yet and hopefully never. Pros: This is a really good drive and comes already formatted in FAT32 so you can plug right into the ps3. It is really small and quiet. Comment:

Yes, You absolutely can... I recommend buying a 250 gb hard drive. They cheap and it will help you a lot...

Yes any 2.5" SATA HDD will work with your Playstation 3, it will have to be formatted and you will need the latest version of the Firmware ready on a Thumb Drive. See here: http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps3/pc_update/

I haven't used mine yet, but it will come formatted in NTFS. It's kind of a given. Though you can virtually use any portable hard drive with the PS3 or Linux. All you need to do is download a little program called fat32format, and you can format the hard drive in FAT32 (Which the PS3 can read) regardless of size. I did this with a 500 GB and a 1 TB hard drive for my PS3.

Yes! I installed it in my PS3 Slim. Get the DreamSky® Super Slim Hard Disk Drive HDD Mounting Bracket For PS3 CECH-400x SeriesPS3 if you can't remove the current drive from the bracket. I had problems with the screws on the original. This this the trick. The drive is working great. You do need to use a USB to install a file to get the hard drive to work. The instructions are on the PS3 site on how to upgrade a HD.

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.

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

No. If it's for your Playstation 3, all you need is the cradle that held the original hard drive.
