1tb hard drive slim ps3

**xdanx** · 01-20-2011,05:52 AM

Does anyone know if the 12.5 mm 1tb hard drive will fit in the PS3 slim?

**ballixd** · 01-20-2011,11:28 AM

in simple words no ps3 slim drive bay is too small a 9mm should fit perfectly, am not sure if there is any available in 1tb, i came across this 750gb though and one of the users review says it fitted into his ps3

Western Digital Scorpio Blue 750GB

why do you need the 1 tb anyway? if its for running back ups then i would go with 3.5 in WD black 1tb @7200rpm and 64mb cache

i actually tell everyone that 750 is biggest because its biggest 9mm....but i had my harddrive out last night...and someone had said without the metal tray thing it would fit...and im thinking their right...its only a 3.5mm difference....and mm's are small lol...

How are you supposed to lock it in, without the metal caddy?

You don't unless you do some creative cutting on the caddy.

you have to mod the metal cady, you need a hammer and something to make that heights below go down and get in the line with the caddy.
