Similarly, can I use a ps3 hard drive in my PC? 5 Answers. IF you mean an external drive or somehow hooking your PS3 to your PC no, you can't install games on an external drive like that. You can however use a laptop 2.5" HDD and replace the physical HDD inside the PS3 (you can backup and restore your current saves to keep all your stuff too).
One may also ask, can ps3 use SSD hard drive?
The PS3 doesn't have a very fast hard drive controller. You can get an SSD to install, but it really isn't worth it. It's a SATA-150 controller. You can get a 7,200 RPM drive to work, but even that won't work at full speed.
Can a ps3 use a 1tb hard drive?
You need to make sure it's a 2.5-inch serial ATA drive of 9.5mm height or less. In practical terms this means you can buy most 2.5-inch 500GB or 1TB slimline hard drives without any major issues.
