I bought this as an upgrade for my macbook and I have no complaints at all. It runs as quietly and as quickly as my old hard drive and I’ve had no problems with it whatsoever. Thoroughly recommended!

Works like a dream, I just cant Sony are making such an issue of selling the different versions of the ps3, especially the limited edition 160gb version.
Buy the cheapest and get this upgrade is my advice!!
Words of warning though!! get the correct screwdriver before you start(I have the draper expert number 1), the screws are insanely tight and are made of some of the softest materials man can buy!
Have a read up on Sonys site they have a forum and dozens of people have wrecked the screws! http://uk.playstation.com/ps3/
Use an external drive and backup everything in system settings, makes the whole process easier, saves you having to install every game again.
You may also need the newest update on a memorystick, currently version 2.53, needs to be in “PS3/UPDATE” (in caps) on the stick otherwise it wont see it, full instructions are on the sony site also!
I also checked out some upgrade videos on youtube, search “ps3 upgrade” easy.
Hope this helped. I’m over the moon with my system now, runs cooler than before and have started copying over all of media!

Well, it worked fine for two whole hours – nice and quiet – before starting to click and not working at all.
Now i know even the best manufacturers occasionally produce duds, and I hope my experience is exceptionable, which is why I’m giving three stars rather than one, but let the record state…

Great upgrade, i now have all my (very large) music collection on my PS3, as well as all my photo collection and i don’t have to worry about deleting trailers and demos to free up space. fantastic.
just be careful with those screws if you’re removing/refitting into the PS3. don’t even THINK about starting til you have the correct size screwdriver, as you’ll just chew the heads up!!!

I used this drive for my Macbook and I have to say -so far- has proven to be very good.Because I fitted it into a Mac I needed to format the drive using Apple’s disk utility before my computer could recognize the drive.
The drive is very quite and is much better than anything else that I have used.
For the money it is super value and a lot cheaper than buying an equivalent from APPLE.
