Question: Will this device work on a (currently) 80gb PS3? I guess that would be a regular PS3, in comparison to the "slim" version.
Document: I love the New Hard Drive. Bought it to replace the 160gb in my ps3 slim. I just wish sony would do something more on how much space the ps3 actually needs to take up. Out of the 750, you get 698gb after the conversion. After that, the system takes close to 80gb leaving about 620gb....Others than that little thing this is a perfect drive. Drive works perfectly and It's quiet. I would recommend this hard-drive to anyone looking for an upgrade Hands down.
I purchased this for my PS3 Slim as my factory drive was clicking and beginning to fail. Luckily I was still able to perform a back up of all my data onto an external drive . The WD Drive went in flawlessly and I've had no issues with it,  The extra space is nice too. I would definitely recommend this drive if you are looking to replace/ upgrade your Drive in your PS3,
Bought this hard drive to go into original ps3 fat. It would run so slow. Just beware because some people say it will work in ps3 make sure you know which model they put it in. Fact original PS3 that i have will only handle a 500gb max drive anything higher it is really slow. Get all info before purchase. It does work great as a usb drive.
This is the correct hard drive for a HPDV7 laptop. I upgraded from 500GB to 1TB. I used the Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 2.0 Connection ASW-USB-25 (White) cable and software worked very well to clone the 500GB HD to a 1TB HD. Had some initial problems with the Apricorn software CD. I called Apricorn, and sorted everything out. It is recommended, and you must, download the latest version from EZGIGIII to EZGIGIV for this to work.
Okay, I bought this a couple days ago for my PS3. Let me start off by saying: the hard drive *does* work, and *is* compatible, but just isn't made for the PS3. It has a power save feature that causes the XMB menu, browser, and some games to stutter/freeze up.
I bought it for my PS3 slim. It was easy to install and I have had no problems with it.
I like it, it works great in the PS3 slim. It fits just fine. I have it half way so far with no problems.
I finally got sick of having to delete games or game files every time I wanted to install a new game. With this bad boy I was able to upgrade my PS3 to 1TB with no trouble. Loosen a couple of screws, pop out the old and insert the new, follow the onscreen instructions and you're good to go. Back up your data first or you'll be starting all your games fresh. The PS3 HDs are all the same so this will work in all form factors, old or new.
Awesome Terabyte drive. I used it for my PS3. I took 10 hours to completely install, backup, install PS updates, and restore. I replaced the 160 gb drive that was originally in my PS3 slim. Works great with 3 months usage so far. No complaints.
Installed in my PS3 Slim, works like a charm. Wasn't too hard to transfer data as I only kept my save games and then re-downloaded all my PS Plus and purchased games. May take you longer if you do full backup and restore of your drive. I've even used the extra space to save my PS Vita games and backups on it. SWEET!
Answer: Based on Sony's upgrade instructions, it looks like a 2.5 inch SATA drive like the WD will work in any PS3 model (https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-(hdd)). I have not had any trouble with the drive since installing it in my formerly-160BG PS3.
