Western Digital Scorpio 320 GB 2.5-inch Bulk/OEM Hard Drive WD3200BEVT Features
- Massive capacity - Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook computer, WD's 320 GB 2.5-inch drives offer the most available capacity for space-hungry operating systems like Windows Vista?, plus plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video
- Fast and Efficient - With 5400 RPM spin speed and 12 ms access time, even the most demanding customer will appreciate the performance achieved by WD Scorpio drives.
- Quiet - In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD's exclusive WhisperDrive combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market. These algorithms also optimize the way a drive seeks for data, which significantly improves power consumption. So now silence (and longer battery life) is golden
- Reliable and Rugged - WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. WD's SecurePark parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and improved non- operational shock tolerance
- Tested for Compatibility - We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in Western Digital's FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems

Customer Rating:Summary: If you own a PS3 buy this drive!!
Comment: Works great in my PS3. Very quiet and fast.
One side note I had to put the newest firmware update on a usb thumb drive and connect it to my PS3 for it to be able to boot up. I think this is with models made in 2008 and up because I watched videos on how to install the hard drive and none of them mentioned having to update the firmware. But if you google "ps3 hard drive system software cannot be run correctly" you will find tons of other people with the same problem.

Summary: Works great for PS3
Comment: I just replaced mine 40GB PS3 drive a couple weeks ago with this and it worked fantastically.
Just a few notes about the process. You *can* re-download anything you have purchased, but a better way is to do a full harddrive backup using the PS3 backup utility. I didn't have a spare hard drive or flash drive large enough to accomplish this, but I do have a 60GB 5th Gen ipod, and it worked fine. There are plenty of tutorials online that show how to do it, including a great one on youtube that helped me out.
Two things to know if you go that route, make sure to sync all your trophies on all accounts before you backup, as all trophy data is NOT backed up. When you play each game for the first time after you backup/restore, it will reinstall the trophies on your local system and then you must re-sync to pull them back down from the PSN.
Unfortunately, this will mean that trophies you got on games you rented or borrowed will never show up on your local PS3 system again (unless you re-get the game), but they still show on your PSN profile and factor into your overall ranking.
Hope this helps.

Summary: Got what I expected
Comment: I upgraded my PS3 drive from 40 GB to 320 GB. Now I am using my PS3 to store all my family media including animations for my daughter. No problems so far and can't get a better price than Amazon (most of the times)
