Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great service from SCAN The 250Gb sata2 disk failed on an old Emachines laptop. I was not sure if this 500Gb sata3 disk would be recognised. It works, however, without any issues at all. Windows 10 reinstalled effortlessly and I'm very happy that I purchased this disk. Great service from SCAN, reasonable price and arrived on time.

Is this drive PlayStation 3 compatible?

I'd just like to make sure this drive will fit and work on a Sony PlayStation 3 system after the old drive died during a firmware update install. Thanks in advance!
