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.. |
Great PS3 upgrade

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. |
Got it for my PS3

| 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. |

Western Digital WD2500BEVS Scorpio 250 GB 2.5-inch SATA Hard Drive
This is an excellent hard drive and perfect for many applications. It can be installed in many laptop computers, some desktop computers with motherboards accepting SATA connections, and PS3 Sony Playstation computer Game Consoles. It is one of the largest that I know will work in the PS3, because I installed it without a hitch in my PS3. It as especially easy to install in under 3 minutes. NOW that is easy! My upgrade was on the 60Gb hard drive PS3 system with no problems. I could only find an upgrade to 120 GB hard drive information, so I set off on a Mission to determine just how large a drive I could install in my PS3. I determined that the criteria for selecting my WD-250 was based on the information at the bottom of this review. Also, I was also able to install an additional OS on the PS3 with the upgrade of the Scorpio WD hard drive by selecting a Linux OS. Now, thats way to kewl ! I can sit there and type away using it just like a laptop with my wireless keyboard. Thanks Western Digital for a quite, fast, easy to install hard drive.
Note: Please determine your specific needs for use in your computer or portable device before purchasing any new hard drives. The hardware must be compatible with the motherboard and Operating Systems on the equipment you are upgrading.

| It took about 5 minutes to double the storage space on my MacBook. So far the drive is fine, but I suppose that time is really the test. |
