Works like a dream, I just cant Sony are making such an issue of selling the different versions of the ps3, especially the limited edition 160gb version.
Buy the cheapest and get this upgrade is my advice!!
Words of warning though!! get the correct screwdriver before you start(I have the draper expert number 1), the screws are insanely tight and are made of some of the softest materials man can buy!
Have a read up on Sonys site they have a forum and dozens of people have wrecked the screws! http://uk.playstation.com/ps3/
Use an external drive and backup everything in system settings, makes the whole process easier, saves you having to install every game again.
You may also need the newest update on a memorystick, currently version 2.53, needs to be in “PS3/UPDATE” (in caps) on the stick otherwise it wont see it, full instructions are on the sony site also!
I also checked out some upgrade videos on youtube, search “ps3 upgrade” easy.
Hope this helped. I’m over the moon with my system now, runs cooler than before and have started copying over all of media!

Great upgrade, i now have all my (very large) music collection on my PS3, as well as all my photo collection and i don’t have to worry about deleting trailers and demos to free up space. fantastic.
just be careful with those screws if you’re removing/refitting into the PS3. don’t even THINK about starting til you have the correct size screwdriver, as you’ll just chew the heads up!!!

fitted very easy use small phillips screw driver to prevent damage to screw heads
only issue on turning ps3 back on it did not automatically format it it stated that it could not start and needed software update 2.6
if this hapens to you use a usb stick and create a folder called PS3 then in the PS3 folder create another called UPDATE then go to ps3 website and download update into the UPDATE folder. now place this in usb port and follow instructions
i had to do this method becuase of my model number but still well worth it and now as become a film libary and musuic center do not forget the folders have to be in caps
hope this helps

I bought this as an upgrade for my macbook and I have no complaints at all. It runs as quietly and as quickly as my old hard drive and I’ve had no problems with it whatsoever. Thoroughly recommended!

Well, it worked fine for two whole hours – nice and quiet – before starting to click and not working at all.
Now i know even the best manufacturers occasionally produce duds, and I hope my experience is exceptionable, which is why I’m giving three stars rather than one, but let the record state…
