Customer Review: Great Product! Works well with the PS3
Summary: 5 Stars
I had bought this hard drive recently to replace a missing hard drive on a PS3(Bought a PS3 without one online).
It is already formatted to the FAT32, so all you need to do place it in the PS3 and format it (you may need to install the update from Sony's Official Playstation Website, so if you have any trouble just go to their website and follow the online instructions on replacing the hard drive.)
After that, the system shows about 293GB. Also, the Hard Drive is very quiet, hardly hear anything at all.
I recommend this particular one to people who are looking for a hard drive to replace the one that is on their PS3.
Customer Review: A Perfect fit
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this just for my PS3. I originally had a 40gb model and this new hard drive works wonders. After installing it and formatting the new hdd, you are left with approximately 263 GB of space. I read somewhere online that the PS3 counts "space" a little differently so you can actually put around 280 GB of info on this hdd, but still anything over 250 GB is a LOT of space.
And as far as speed is concerned, I've noticed certain things load a little quicker. I'm not sure if the hdd has anything to do with that, but I've only got 160 GB of space left and my PS3 is still fast as lightning when it comes to loading and pulling up pics and vids.
Customer Review: replace ps3 hard drive
Summary: 5 Stars
My grandson's PS3 only worked for 3 mo. We contacted Sony and they wanted $150.00 to fix or replace it. I started checking online what type of drive it had etc. I priced around and found Amazon had the best deal. It also gave me input on how well the drive I selected would work in his PS3. I ordered it and it came within the time stated. It took all of 10 min to install and now he's playing again. With shipping it was only $80.00, alot less than Sony. I really appreciate the detail Amazon goes to so you not only have the product but can get info on how it has worked for others and install issues if any.
Thanks from Grandma, I'm a hero now.
Customer Review: Works great in MacbookPro 3,1
Summary: 5 Stars
This drive works wonderfully as a replacement for my internal drive!
Replacement is easy if you search for instructions, and the guide i found had useful diagrams.
Just make sure you have a set of torx drivers and small screwdrivers.
Drive is quiet (better than the one it came with), and i have no noticeable change in battery life.
I highly recommend this drive to anyone who wants/needs to replace the internal Macbook Pro one for either larger capacity or the reason of "your roommate is a retard and dropped it", as mine was.
Works well with an external USB drive bridge and windows XP (running macdrive), as well.
Customer Review: upgrade from 160GB
Summary: 5 Stars
I upgraded my Dell Mini 10V netbook that came with 160GB to this one.
It is a wonderful HD. It is quiet and fast.
It doesn't make as much heat as previous models.
The installation was a breeze. (especially for the Mini 10V).
It really is quiet. I actually used this on my Macbook Pro first.
And then I bought the 640GB version for my Macbook Pro and used this one for the mini10v.
So now I have a 160GB spare for emergency.
It is a wonderful new series from WD. This Scropio Blue HD series is the most reliable drive I have used. (I am using at least 5 of them now.)
Highly recommend.
