This HD was used to upgrade my OEM 80 GB PS3 Hard Drive The installation process was quite simple and the PS3 unit performs much better with this Hard Drive than it did with the OEM 80 GB Seagate
The PS3 unit now runs much quiter which also means that it runs much cooler as the only noise you hear while gaming is the cooling fan and the Hard Disk read/write speed is exponentially quicker I would highly recommend this Hard Drive to anyone who owns a non slimline PS3 as it will greatly increase the performance of your unit which on the old CECHE01 xx units is a VERY important thing These PS3 Units do tend to malfunction YLOD if they run at warmer temperatures for excessive periods of time In addition to providing you with more free space than you will even be able to use during the lifespan of your PS3 unit the fact that they run much cooler as the space of the Hard Disk is increased is something which is of the utmost importance for PS3 owners who wish to get the longest possible lifespan of their PS3 unit
The Hard Drive arrived very quickly two full days before the anticipated ship date that I was given and was secured well in a sealed anti static pouch The pouch was fully secured between two packing sleeves which kept the drive securely elevated so that it would not vibrate or take any blows during the shipping process
The one final recommendation I would like to make to anyone who uses this to upgrade a PS3 is to make sure that you know EXACTLY how well a phillips head screwdriver should fit a screwhead I am somebody who has worked in repair for my entire life so for me this was not an issue BUT if you have limited experience in this department then you may wish to consider having a more mechanical acquaintance perform the disk removal and install for you because if the screws which secure the OEM Hard Drive are stripped to the point of where they may not be removed than you will have a large problem on your hands which even require you to send your PS3 Unit directly to Sony for a repair which will be more expensive than it should be
>> THIS THING IS REALLY GOOD FOR A PS3 UPGRADE A 6 YEAR OLD COULD DO IT LOVE IT
I GOT THIS HDD FOR MY PS3 UPGRADE 40 GIG IS JUST NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR A PS3 BUT ITS REALLY EASY TO INSTALL AND WORKS REALLY WELL I LOVE IT WOULD BUY IT AGAIN IF I HAVE TO IN THE FUTURE IF YOU WANT A PS3 UPGRADE THIS IS IT UNLESS YOU WANT A BIGGER HDD ITS A GREAT PRICE AND RELIABLE HDD BUY IT YOU WILL LOVE IT
>> Reliable for my Macbook Pro
I have bought Western Digital drives in the past and have had no problems with them Every now and then you can expect a manufacturer s error but I haven t had that happen yet with WD I used this drive to upgrade my Macbook Pro and it worked perfectly I would always recommend Western Digital The only thing I would have liked was if this drive was this price and 7200rpm on the speed
