PS3s were designed to take the standard laptop size harddrive . The PS3 system hard disk drive (HDD) is removable and upgradeable. Amazon has a PS3 160 GB Hard Drive Upgrade Kit for $68.99 see related link. However you do not need to purchase a special PS3 harddrive and can purchase any laptop Harddrive over the internet or from stores like Best Buy. I have added, Can I upgrade the hard disk drive (HDD) inside my PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system? from the Playstation knowledge Center as a related link to assist you after you have found and purchased your harddrive.
On the harddrive.
AnswerWell, in the end, for a laptop, with that kind of processing speed, it all comes down to how much computer memory the laptop has. It would be useful to know this beforehand, however, if the RAM is less than 512mb, i would not recommend buying it.What else it depends on is what operating system it would be running.
Usually when someone purchases a new laptop from a retail store, they will not be able to choose an operating system. All new computers will feature whatever the current operating system is at the time. One could purchase a laptop that already has XP Pro by buying a used model. Another solution is to have the laptop custom built. This will allow the purchaser to choose what features they want on the laptop including the operating system.
What should happen is that you review and remove the least desirable items stored on the PlayStation harddrive. You can also replace the harddrive with a larger harddrive. The system does have some control but mostly you will be unable to add anything to your harddrive. If you also have an online connection games needing updates will no longer be playable.
Currently the largest harddrive available in a Playstation 3 model from the factory is the 160gb limited edition Uncharted bundle system.
The advantage of buying a desktop PC over a laptop is that it usually costs the same, but is much more powerful. They have more storage and do not need to be charged. You can upgrade a desktop and use a better sound system than a laptop.
It means that your laptop fails.
Yes, removing the hard drive from a Dell laptop can help troubleshoot certain issues, especially if you're experiencing operating system or corruption problems. By removing the hard drive, you can test the laptop's functionality without it, or replace it with a new one if it's faulty. Additionally, you can connect the hard drive to another computer to retrieve data or check for errors. However, if the laptop has other hardware issues, removing the hard drive may not resolve the problem.
No, but it may have a card reader in it which may appear to the operating system as a disk drive.
Yes it the harddrive is updated with the new model. The harddrive needs to be set up for the system that it is in. It would not be a fat PS3 harddrive in a PS3 slim and still allow the PS3 slim to work. You could not even put it in a different model Fat PS3 without uploading the new information for that model PS3. They are all just standard laptop harddrives (2.5" internal Serial ATA HDD) like all PS3 use and then loaded with the unique model information that only that model can use. You certainly could not use a early PS2 capable harddrive to give your slim a capability to play PS2 games. see related link
The Playstation 2 system doesn't have a built in harddrive and uses memory cards to save most games. However, there is an externally attached hard drive available for the system and required to play certain games such as Final Fantasy XI.
