Perfect for upgrading your PS3,
I was getting fed up with my PS3 running out of space, so I looked it over online and found out this HD is a perfect fit your your PS3 (I don’t have a slim, but I think they are the same HD size). The drive installed fast, the PS3 had a back up service that let me throw everything on a USB stick and I was up and running in under 30 minutes. I’ve downloaded tons of games onto it over the PSN and still have more space than I have used. Quick drive, great price, no issues so far!

|Quiet, but died within 3 months.,
I bought my drive on January 4th, 2011. I installed it about two weeks later, after having enough time to handle the downtime for this.
March 17th, 2011, it’s dead. I got a click-click-click deathwhine, and after rebooting, it just never came back.
WD is replacing it, but they’re honoring the 3 year warranty from the creation date, not the purchase date; it was made in July, 2010, so I lost almost 6 months of my warranty.
This is the first WD I’ve had that’s died, but due to the warranty policy I will likely not purchase another unless they change warranty date to registration date.

|Works fine,
Arrived on time, in its packaging, and my PS3 accepted it perfectly. So for all of you who zipped to this product after reading the PS3 harddrive replacement instructions, this is what you are looking for.
Update: This hard drive is still working perfectly and I bought it over two years ago.
