I just got a new PS3 Slim 2101a model and replaced its simple 120gb hdd with this massive 750gb hdd! Works like a charm! It formatted to start with 620GB FREE of 698 GB / 750GB HDD The PS3 will format your HDD no matter what your size HDD, but its all good! Game it up! = ) I previously had a great 320GB HDD Western Digital in my PS3 Phat 60GB launch system, which I am still keeping, but I upgraded to the new PS3 Slim and 750GB!! 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful. Great Replacement for 13" Mac, but **Mac Owners PLEASE READ!** By Brady Dahl The drive went in easily and is very nice in my new 13" MacBook Pro 2010 model. I had left time machine to copy all of my files while I went to work so it would be done when i got back. Upon returning home from work, everything appeared to be working great but I did start to notice a strange noise, after some use. It seems to be a known issue that when you replace the hard drive in the newer macs with EFI 1.6 or later, the drive will park the heads hundreds of times in a couple hours unless you install a fix for it. This can cause accelerated wear on the drive and shorten its lifespan. My drive had a load cycle count of 498 in the 7 hours that I left it on while i was at work, this is not a good thing; it should be at less than 10-20 for that same amount of time. There is a very HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FIX at:[...]. It involves some minor technical work and can be compared to editing a few settings on the windows registry. If you can take the cover off of your laptop and install a new drive just fine, you can do this. I have just installed the fix described above and everything is working great with no clicking noises coming from the new drive. Some other tips for installing the drive include: 1. Replace the back cover screws on the MBP unibody starting with the middle columns (in the order of bottom left, top right, bottom right, top left), next replace the end screws from right to left in the order of middle row, then bottom row, then top row. 2. If you are restoring from a time machine backup, do a fresh install of the software first by booting from the System Restore Disc, Going to the Utilities menu in the setup environment and formatting the disk using Disk Utility. Next do a clean install of Snow Leopard to take advantage of the new 4k sector scheme required for this drive. Finally on the first boot of the system, restore your files and settings using the "Restore from a time machine backup" option of the registration screens. Once the restoration process is complete, don't forget to run Software Update and the fix described above. That's it, enjoy your new drive! 16 of 18 people found the following review helpful. Great replacement for Mac Unibody Drive By Steven W. Graff This was a replacement drive for a 320GB 7400 RPM Seagate. A couple of things that will be important to others: * The drive is silent, it is as quiet or quieter than the Seagate * I cannot provide an exact measurement yet, but battery life is noticeably longer. I am estimating 10-15% even with the larger capacity. (Probably because of advances in technology as well as the lower 5400 RPM) * The ADF formatting provides considerably more usable space. It is the first time in a decade where I am left with nearly the stated drive capacity after I have formatted the drive. * Despite the lower RPM and smaller cache of the WD drive vs. the Seagate, I am not experiencing slower access, application start-up or data response. * It fits easily into a 17" Unibody MacBook Pro. it is actually ever so slightly shorter * If you are installing it in a Mac with SnowLeapard (10.6.x) and TimeMachine, you will want to install a fresh system and then import preferences, apps and data using the TimeMachine option. Trying to restore directly without installing a fresh system results in
