Great Hard Drive Works Just like the Original
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to say that this was one of the best purchases I made. It was very simple to install and has a ton of room for games and downloadable content. It even came with the mounting bracket. This is just perfect.

Very useful addition for my aging 60gig PS3
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I joined PS+ recently and needed more space to download all the free games. My aging 60gig PS3 was full of patches and I would spend tons of time deleting game date and re-downloading it when I needed it. The drive didn't come with directions to migrate my existing games and files, but I found it on the web. It was easy, but the the backup and restore took 4 hours in total. bought on sale for $30, cheaper than I could hope to find anywhere else.

Great compatible hard drive for the PS3
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the official upgraded hard drive for the Sony Playstation 3. It is easy to install, even for a beginner. It is affordable and offers a lot of space to download media. Highly recommended.

Much needed storage space
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm running out of storage on my hard drive (it only has 250GB), and I don't want to go out and buy a PS4 just yet. This 500GB HDD just happened to be on sale, and I just couldn't pass it up.

Perfect for the 12GB system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son got a 12GB PS3 which is great but obviously you can't store much. I picked up this 500 GB hard drive from Rocketfish and it was very easy to install. I have had no issues with it sonce I installed it and I would highly recommend this product to anyone with a 12GB PS3 that needs an upgrade. Keep in mind this is only for the 12GB PS3 so that would be the only drawback. Absolutely a great product!!!!

Fast drive, normal SATA connector
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The drive is relatively fast but the performance hasn't always been consistent. I'm just using the drive in a laptop because it needed an upgrade. I'm sure it would be fine for just the ps3.

Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great hard drive it works well with th PS3 12gb slim, I was about to buy it at full price ($99)but found it on sale ($69)what a steal. I still would recommend this to anyone even at full price, because it's easy to install and provides a lot of space for my kids to play and save all their games. I must say that if you are buying a PS3 it would be around the same price to get the one with 500gb and you can eliminate this step altoghter unless you can get the 12gb slim and the 500gb drive on sale like me (combo$209+tax) great deal compaired to the $299 that you will spent on the others.

Q: QuestionHow do I transfer all my stuff to the new hard drive?Also how fast is it compared to the 1'st generation PS3 hard drive? I bought mine about 4 years after it was released.
Asked by Erik.
- A:Answer Good question! You'll need to use the PS3's backup utility to ensure your saved game files are accessible on the new hard drive: https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/798

Q: QuestionThe hard drive kit for ps3, do i need anything else with it to upgrade my ps3Is that all i need
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer If you are currently using storage on the console and do not have a hard drive installed then all you will need is the drive itself. If you are currently using a drive you will have to backup the data onto an external drive and then transfer the data to the new one
