Hi lordz,

 

Technically a SATA 3 HDD will be compatible with the PS3 as the data rate does not exceed the capabilities of the PS3.  However these HDD's have not been tested so I would advise going with a model that other users have tried and tested.

Best thing to do is web search "PS3 compatible harddrive" check out the users reviews and comments. I have been using a Samsung 1TB PS3 compatible drive for the past few bit cheaper than that Hitachi one. 

 

Samsung 1TB drive.
