Great for your PS3

Jul 18, 2007 - By FH (Los Angeles, CA USA)

I was looking to purchase a 2.5" SATA drive and came across this 160GB drive as an upgrade for my Playstation 3, which I use as a media center for streaming music and movies. The drive was extremely easy to install and is situated at a very reasonable price point. I was skeptical at first but it actually does use less power than the 60GB 5400rpm drive that originally came with the thing. Less power consumption means less heat. I am very pleased. For those looking to upgrade their PS3, I recommend looking into getting this drive.

Great drive, fast enough

Mar 14, 2007 - By Jose C. Elias Espinal (Santiago Dominican Republic)

It's not a 7200 RPM drive, but the 160GB of space makes up for it. As fast as my previous 5400 RPM drive.

Bought this for my PS3...

Jun 20, 2008 - By Anthony Dragani

My 40gb PS3 was rapidly running out of space, so I was looking for an economical solution. I found this drive for a very reasonable price, and had no difficulty installing it. So far it works great... it is very quiet and more than fast enough for my games and media applications. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Great HD for the PS3

Jul 17, 2008 - By Aaron Labar (Daytona Beach, Florida)

I bought this drive about 3 weeks ago, and haven't had one problem yet. I got it for my PS3, and it took about 20 minutes to swap out the old one and put this one in. the only 'hard' part was getting the screws that hold the drive in the tray into this new drive...didn't seem like they were 100% aligned; nevertheless it was no big deal. After formatting the new drive, it came up to about 149gb, which isn't bad.

I highly recommend getting this .

Upgraded PS3 memory for a great price!

Aug 19, 2008 - By Joe Ackbar (Augusta, GA USA)

I bought this HDD to upgrade my PS3. The drive came in good condition, installed easily and works great. Great price as well, since it only cost $60 to double my Hard Drive capacity. This is a great choice for those gamers out there looking to upgrade their PS3 HDD inexpensively.
