This hard drive is too thin to fit in the PS3 normally. The connector is good but once installed on the aluminum frames used to fasten the hard disk and insert it into the PS3, it is not facing the internal connector of the hatch of the PS3. I bypassed this bp by placing 2-3 mm plastic spacer so as to be opposite the internal connector. Once stuck with the original screws of the PS3 that does not move.
