Fits perfectly into all 40, 60, and 80 GB Fat Models, this review does not excludede the slim models, however I do not own a slim and therefore am unable to test the compatibility. The PS3 automatically formats the HDD upon start up and takes roughly 30 seconds!

Put this in a MacBook to upgrade to 1TB. Fitted well, works well. Painless installation and now lots of room for Lion.

Bought this to replace the first WD 1TB drive that was 12.5 mm Western Digital 1 TB Scorpio Blue SATA 3 Gb/s 5200 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Notebook Hard Drive - WD10TPVT. There was nothing wrong with the other one, I just wanted to put my OWC 240GB SSD back in the HDD spot and fit this into the optical drive spot. I used an OWC Data Doubler for this and it works a treat. The previous drive I had was 12.5 mm tall and so I had to put the SSD in the optical drive spot and the HDD in the normal spot (this being in an early 2011 17 inch MBP). This drive is nice and quiet, obviously has a ton of space and it sips power. Transfer speeds are very good, I used FW800 to copy everything over before I installed it and I was getting 85 megabytes per second on the high end and 60-65 on the low end. If you need a slimmer 1TB 2.5 inch laptop drive for massive storage then this is the drive for you. It's a really great drive and will fit in anything that will accept a 9.5 mm 2.5 inch HDD. For those of you with MBPs this will fit in the optical drive spot no problem and OWC sells the Data Doubler that is extremely well made for a great price. Coupled with an OWD 240GB SSD (dual booting OS X and Windows 7) I average 10 second cold boots, have a ton of extra space for both OSes (have a partition set up for both OSes without a single hiccup), and my battery life took a minimal hit. Used to get 6.5 hours out of a charge with just my SSD, I get about 5.5 to 6 hours now. That drop is well worth having all your data in one place without an external drive mucking up the works and Time Machine backs up both drives to my old WD 1TB (Western Digital 1 TB Scorpio Blue SATA 3 Gb/s 5200 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Notebook Hard Drive - WD10TPVT)drive at a smoking fast rate. If you're looking for a very fast drive with a ton of space and sips power then this drive is for you! It's a screaming deal so pick one up quick, you won't regret it.

Works great with ps3 slim and laptop. Plenty of storage space in a new ps3, and used as a second storage drive in a dell m6600.

We ran out of HDD space on our Macbook Pro 17 inch (original drive was 160GB HDD). While we did not do the actual installation as instead opted for Mac Station $85 no worry installation.

Once the drive was loaded did notice it was quite slow at the start of the Lion operation system, however found out that drive needed Defrag, so Drive Genius took care of this.

Drive is very quiet, it is working great and I have given my 2007 Fall Macbook Pro 17 inch a whole new life! Just ordered a replacement 4GB memory to boost it up to the maximum 6GB.

Figure it saves me about $2,400 which would be the cost to replace notebook with similar (and remember that Apple does not offer a 1TB HDD option).

One important note is that Apple Store Genius Bar will not do the HDD upgrade (strange as they lost the service fee to Mac Station)!

This Hard Drive will fit in the PS3 Slim model's, i test it out with my PS3 & plan on buy 1 more Hard Drive for my new PS3 Slim i getting. Own 2 PS3 Slim; so both Slims should 1TB Hard Drive to make it awesome. :) But this time around i going to test Samsung SpinPoint SATA 5400rpm 8 MB Cache 1 TB 2.5-Inch Hard Drive with Western Digital 1 TB to see which is the best.

I brought the hard drive. For my ps3 60 gigabyte now I have a lot of space to download all the games I want from the playstation store

I bought this drive to upgrade my PS3 slim 120GB drive. It works perfectly! I would recommend this drive to anyone wanting to upgrade their PS3 slim drive.

I was glad to find a SATA 2.5" 9.5mm-high 1TB hard drive, and thought it would work with my 2007 Macbook Pro (A1226), but it doesn't. My MBP incorrectly reads a capacity of 9.7TB, and is unable to format the drive. I instead successfully installed this drive on a unibody Macbook 13", and put the factory hard drive (240GB) into my 15". It's amazing how quickly space fills up when I have a lot of music and home videos!

Anyway, so far, this Western Digital hard drive runs really quiet, quieter than the Hitachi factory drive!

Fits well in a Pavilion dv7-3186cl (second port) no problems so far it is 9mm thick great value for money if any one out there wanted to know
