Are SATA drives USB drives?
SATA (Serial ATA) drives are normal drives that use the SATA interface when connecting to a PC. A SATA cable is used to bridge the gap between the drive and the computers motherboard and a separate cable is used to provide power to the drive.USB, in a similar way to SATA, refers to an interface. It is possible to use a USB cable to connect a SATA drive to a USB port but only if you use an appropriate SATA-USB adapter.Most, if not all, external hard-drive kits, which may be sold as 'USB hard-drives', will contain a SATA drive inside a drive caddy with a USB cable connecting it to the PC. The caddy will already have the SATA-USB adapter built into it, negating the need to go and buy one yourself.Please don't try and wedge a USB cable straight into the back of a SATA drive as it will no doubt cause damage.
Can a PS3 hard drive be used as a external hard drive?
Yes. all your PS3 Hard drive is, is most probably a laptop Drive, and is most definitely SATA. you will need to buy a HDD Enclosure/Caddy relevant to your drive, either 3.5 SATA OR 2.5 SATA. i would sway towards 2.5 over 3.5 i highly doubt it has a desktop drive in there. anyway once you have one of those you can format the drive and just use it as an external :). although the £30 your gonna spend on an enclosure and the hassle of formatting it id say just go to PC World and buy an external HDD for aboiut £50
