Plug and Play
I got this to upgrade my PS3. It was E.Z.!
I now have HD videos stored on my main drive, with thumbnail previews.
One happy Geek here!
Turn your 40GB PS3 into a 250GB one for the same price as a 80GB..

A lot of space for the laptop
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I replaced the original 100 GB hard drive of my Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop because I needed more space to store large scans of botanical specimens. I have had an external drive attached the the laptop but I'd liked to travel without carrying an additional external drive.
The installation of the Western Digital drive was very easy, using the standard documentation of the Dell la...

Got it for my PS3
Good hardrive... I bought it for my PS3 and it is working AWESOME! I had an original 60GB PS3. I was running out of space quick. I have a lot of my DVD collection on the PS3 for quick access and this gives me plenty more room.

Great PS3 upgrade
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I purchased this drive as an upgrade for my 40GB PlayStation 3. The upgrade went smoothly, and the PS3 had no trouble recognizing the drive.
When it is just spinning or idling, this drive is extremely quiet. When the drive seeks (reads/writes), you can just hear it. For most people this shouldn't be a problem, but if you demand absolute silence, you may want to look at a smalle...

WD 250Gb 2.5-in SATA hard drive
Western Digital WD2500BEVS Scorpio 250 GB 2.5-inch SATA Hard Drive
This is an excellent hard drive and perfect for many applications. It can be installed in many laptop computers, some desktop computers with motherboards accepting SATA connections, and PS3 Sony Playstation computer Game Consoles. It is one of the largest that I know will work in the PS3, because I installed it without a hitch in my PS3. It as especially easy to install in under 3 minutes. NOW that is easy! My upgra...

Great Upgrade for PS3
Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very good HDD; it stays cool, silent, and is large enough to hold whatever I throw at it. It's also slightly faster at loading my PS3's files, not that loading was ever a real problem.
Cons: It's...um...actually, I have no Cons for it. It does what it's supposed to and it does it well.

OK
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Works fine. Shipped UPS.
Installed windows 7 RC for my girlfriend's laptop because the hard drive went bad.
She threw it on the floor when she got upset because the World of Warcraft Argent Tournament dailies were way too hard, and it was her time of the month. I ran some tests and the hard drive looked bad, so I ordered this one.
