Could i?...

[Jazkee]

Take the hard drive out of my ps3 and put it in my laptop cause my laptop one is broke?

Or is it totally diffrent hard drives?

thanks

[myke]

I know not very much in this area, however, I very much doubt it. When my h/d failed, I had to replace it with a HP Hard drive, I believe they are completely different.
Correct me if I am wrong :)

Tbh you could but it may or may not work depending on your laptop and it may effect your ps3 + leave you without a hard drive for both ps3 + laptop

Id try googling it.

I know you can put computer hardrives into the PS3. I know someone who put in a 500GB

[N!ck]

I don;t see why not aslong as the interface was the same.

[Kieran]

No you won't be able to due to the fact that laptop hard drives are a different size to computer hard drives =)

AFAIK the PS3 uses a 2.5" SATA HDD. Laptops use 2.5" SATA or IDE drives.

[Kieran]

Oh I am sorry. Just cause I didn't realise that the PS3 uses 2.5"
And please dont use crap like AFAIK when talking to me just because you can't be bothered to type correctly.

AFAIK i use it regularly just like "lol" and you won't see me typing "laugh out loud" instead.

if i did break teh hard drive of the ps3 cudnt i just get it fixed cause its got warranty on

edit: after taking teh harddrive out of my laptop i saw a warranty sticker and says warranty void if seal broken so if i took it back to pc world wudnt they fix it inc the laptop?

[Kieran]

If it's still under warranty and you haven't purposely damaged it.

i havent purposly damaged it and i dunno if its still under warranty but its worth a try

[Technologic]

You void the warranty on the PS3 if you remove the hard disk, same with the laptop i think. Only a few companies allow user modification without voiding the warranty

the ps3 has a sticker at the top but not on the hard drive bit

and my laptop has stickers on it saying void if any stickers removed [the hard drive i mean]

I was gonna buy a nice little laptop from dell for £130 but i just dont have the money. but the one i have is crap and horrid and the dell one is really nice

[Adam$]

seems a bit pointless, if you balls it up in the process of doing it you're wrecking a machine that costs a few hundred quid, when you can buy a 500GB HDD for less than £100 (for a PC, anyway)

[Nli.]

It won't work... because the hard drive is already set up for running on a PS3, and you wont be able to boot but im not sure if im getting confused with 360 now though.

[Stephen!]

You would just have to format it. It wouldn't be that difficult really.

[Zaub]

If you really need a new HDD and don't wanna stuff your PS up, just buy an 80GB one or something. They cost like 10 pounds.

[samsaBEAR]

yeh, id go with getting a new hard drive. they're cheaper, and there's less chance of you breaking your ps3

[Jordan3606]

Removing or replacing the HDD of the PS3 does not void warrantee as far as I know, there's even instructions on how to do it on the playstation website and in the manual, lol :)

You'd have to format the drive though as I beleive the PS3 uses FAT32
