## Description

Review: Upgraded my PS3 in minutes - I bought this for a PS3 SuperSlim with only 12GB memory - after screwing this into the mount (available here: Sony PlayStation 3 Replacement Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Mounting Bracket ) it slotted in easily and my PS3 instantly found the disk when booted up and formatted it. I have since installed several games and had no problems what-so-ever. There's not much to say about this other than it was well packaged and 500GB is more than adequate for what I need. I initially looked at a 320GB drive (which was still larger than I needed) but I wanted a trusted brand - I have used Western Digital external hard-discs for some time and felt confident that WD would provide a great device. WD are also pretty reaonsable price-wise, there are cheaper brands but I have read some horror stories and didn't want to risk a poor quality drive. There are also more expensive brands out there, but this represents a good middle ground of decent performance, excellent quality, and acceptable price. In a nutshell: Highly recommended to anyone requiring an 2.5 SATA drive, especially those wanting one to upgrade the storage space of a PS3 - it was a doddle.
Review: High quality, low cost hdd solution. - I purchased this to swap out a dying hdd on my daughters laptop. Using AOMEI freeware, and a USB hdd caddy, it was a simple task of cloning the 350GB hdd on to this 500GB drive. The new drive simply swapped in and was recognised as native without re-registering any software or losing data. The difference was immediately obvious. Access speeds of the drive are good and installation is straight forward. Build of the drive is robust and it is really everything you need in a replacement / new drive. I have used Western Digital drives on a number of builds and replacements over the years and I have always found them reliable. The Blue series is an affordable solution to disk replacement, particularly on older systems that are useful, but of relatively low value. As every laptop I have owned has died due to hdd failure, I would suggest it is worth £30-£40 to clone your hdd just in case. Recommended

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Very Old Stock
*by R***D on 3 August 2018*

I bought this to replace a failed drive in a notebook computer. This is 2018 the new drive i bought from this company was manufactured in 2012 that's 6 years ago. Any one buying a drive from this company check the manufacturing date.Although the drive was delivered quickly i was dismayed the drive was so old therefore no manufacturers guarantee. The drive is installed and working. Perhaps the company should advise it is old stock they are selling.
