Review: Great little drive for my PS3 - I bought this in January 2014 to replace the puny 40GB drive that came pre-installed with my PS3 (white fatty). I don't know how I got by with so little for so long. Most disc-based games these days require some kind of install, and more and more games are going the digital download route (I'm part of PlayStation Plus), so I needed more room badly. I considered going up to 750GB or even 1TB, but 500 GB seemed to be sweet spot between performance and cost. I didn't want to spend too much, especially since I'd likely be purchasing a PS4 in a year. I spent several hours reading reviews and comparing prices, deciding between traditional hard drives and SSD. In the end, I chose this one, based on my positive experience with the WD brand and based on the price. For $45, this is a good price for a roomy drive and gives new life to my PS3 for all my downloads. Quiet and no problems at all.
Review: Perfect for PS3 replacement - After three years of use, the hard drive on my PS3 slim 160GB started to go south. The drive was nearly full, would corrupt save files from time to time, and the system fan ran 24/7. Fortunately, replacing a PS3 hard drive is a piece of cake and this WD 500GB hard drive fits all the requirements: 2.5" (laptop sized) drive, 5400 RPM (recommended NOT to spring for the 7200 RPM - it may cause your PS3 to run hot), SATA III. It took me longer to back up my data than it did to replace the hard drive itself. PS3 runs like new now - quiet and cool with the added benefit of 300+GB of free space. Word to the wise: there are dozens of online tutorials/youtube videos that walk you through the replacement step by step. Make sure to watch a few of them (and read the comments) before you proceed - most of them seem to leave out at least one crucial step.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this work to replace a toshiba MK5076GSX?**
A: Yes it will, Any 2.5" notebook hard drive would work with that computer.

**Q: Will this go on the inside of the ps3?**
A: It should fit. From what I can tell it has to be  a 2.5" drive under 9mm in thickness and this one's spec says it is 0.28" just over 7mm (7.112mm). Look up one of the FAQs out there for PS3 HD install on Google for installation. HTH

**Q: Will this work on a Macbook pro mid 2009?**
A: No idea

**Q: will this hdd affect any streaming or lag issues for GTA 5?**
A: I don't have GTA 5 but I've noticed improved load times a and no lag in any other game I have from games like gran turismo 5 and the last of us which is a digital copy. All online play has been great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ OK 500GB Drive, good enough for my needs
*by S***H on March 17, 2014*

I haven't had any problems with this drive, and my laptop is over 7 years old. For me really no use putting in a WD Black HD. Had for about 6 months now and absolutely no hiccups whatsoever. It's a good hard drive, so far. Will update if it's 6 feet under. Decent price, and I need reliability with my work as a field engineer. A lot of my industrial software needs to run on a 32bit system, as I have 16 bit software from the "Old Days" that hasn't been updated, nor has the equipment. Now, if you wonder about the speed difference between this and the WD Black series with more cache, this one is noticeably slower. But not like the difference between a normal HD and SSD. I bought this as a "good enough" drive for my computer, and at a cost savings which is nice. I recommend this one if you need a reliable and decent Hard Drive, and spend the difference on some software if so inclined. You won't get more than maybe 7% better out of a WD Black over this. Maybe less realistically!
