I got this to upgrade my PS3. It was E.Z.!

I now have HD videos stored on my main drive, with thumbnail previews.

One happy Geek here!

Turn your 40GB PS3 into a 250GB one for the same price as a 80GB..

Good hardrive... I bought it for my PS3 and it is working AWESOME! I had an original 60GB PS3. I was running out of space quick. I have a lot of my DVD collection on the PS3 for quick access and this gives me plenty more room.

I purchased this drive as an upgrade for my 40GB PlayStation 3. The upgrade went smoothly, and the PS3 had no trouble recognizing the drive.

When it is just spinning or idling, this drive is extremely quiet. When the drive seeks (reads/writes), you can just hear it. For most people this shouldn't be a problem, but if you demand absolute silence, you may want to look at a smaller drive.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect homebrew M$ alternative
Do yourself a favor - buy it, slap the firmware on it and save upwards of $70 bucks off of the M$ version of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Buy for PS3 Owners.
Like everyone else I bought this to replace the 60 gig hard drive in my ps3. Installation is easy and quick. Much cheaper than buying a new ps3 slim. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a PS3.
I, like many others here, bought this HD to replace the tiny 60gb one that came with my PS3, since I was fed up with scrambling to make space for DLC. I am 100% satisfied. Read more
