Question 1

Will this work with an older PS3?

Accepted Answer

I purchased this for my laptop, and for that application it works very well... the specifications for this drive do match those for the PS3... I would do a bit more research on the PS3 specs' before I personally would try using it on my PS3 - better safe than sorry....

Question 2

I have a Lenovo U410 Ideapad "Ultrabook." The HDD model number is the same as the HDD shown here EXCEPT there is a dash at the end followed by an additional code of "24HXZT3".  Can I just buy the HDD and not worry about this added gibberish code at the end?  My hard drive is dying a slow death and I need to replace it.  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Your U410 looks like it ships with a 750GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and a 24GB Solid State Drive (SSD). I'm not sure if your current hard disk is hybrid (having both HDD and SSD built into the same 2.5" drive) or if it has a separate SSD. Regardless, as long as the original drive and replacement drive are 2.5" Hard Drives, and they are SATA, I don't foresee you having any compatibility issues.

Question 3

Can I use this to replace a WD 500GB for an ASUS computer?

Accepted Answer

I had to replace the hard drive on my ASUS U56E laptop - I bought the WD7500 - Western Digital has a good reputation for longevity and was simple to replace and configure with my restore disks....
