## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this compatible with PS3 super slim? (hope this question hasn't already been asked but i only saw info on first and 2nd gen. PS3's).**
A: You can reprogram a 2TB drive to think it's a 1.6TB drive, which is the largest as PS3 can take as an internal drive. I have done it myself using Seagate Tools, a program, you boot into from a flash drive.

**Q: if i install this in my ps3 (60 gb fat) will it still be able to play ps2 and ps1 games?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is it sealed and in original packaging? Thanks.**
A: Yea it was sealed, but not in original packaging, works great though, just had to format it

**Q: Would this work with a hp 15-p100dx**
A: It will work as long as your notebook does not require a slimline drive. I looked at the specs for the HP 15-p100dx and it does not say it is a slimline. If your notebook has a DVD drive (which I believe it does), then most likely the hard drive is standard notebook size. I would pull out the old drive first to see if it is slim or standard notebook size.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works in TiVo Bolt!
*by S***D on January 8, 2022*

I have a TiVo Bolt (2017), it has run perfectly for 4+ years, until the dreaded four lights started flashing. Finally, after trying a few other drives, the Western Digital 500GB(WD5000LPCX),did work, which is the one that was in my Bolt initially (did not upgrade). It took just a couple of minutes for the setup menu to show (did not with the others). Went through all the steps but, the very last one where it verifies, said it could not, and to call TiVo service, which I did. Turns out, when you're Wi-Fi connected by ethernet (my choice), they recommend using any of the ports on your router, except port #1. After that, it worked fine. I used port #2. I found videos to help me replace the drive.After swapping out the drive, I connected the power, HDMI to TV, the Ethernet to my router, and my digital antenna.If I can do this ...you can! It has been a few weeks and so far, so good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid drive for laptops.
*by R***X on June 4, 2014*

Every couple of years I replace the disk drive in my Inspiron 1525 just to avoid a disk crash. Each upgrade provides more space: 320GB, 500GB and now 750GB. Along the way, I added a Ubuntu partition of only 60GB. Ubuntu has turned out to be a very good alternative to the Mac OS X and especially the Windows 8 disaster. When I chose this disk, I went for the size so that I could expand my Ubuntu file system.My bias for the laptop disks is the slower 5400 RPM which seems to be more reliable. I would have liked a little more disk cache, but I haven't noticed any performance difference with the smaller 8MB cache. I do not like the SSDs because they become sluggish after a number of writes and Windows, when I use it, is always swapping memory in and out for some unknown reason. That's not good for an SSD.Since I am going with Ubuntu, I backed up my old 500GB disk using PartedMagic onto a large 3.5" drive. After installing the WD drive, I restored the exact same 500GB image. My plan had been to create a new 250GB partition for large files. This didn't work out since I had reached the maximum number of partitions (six or seven) that could be supported. It works great as-is and some day, I'll work on accessing the additional space by expanding the existing partitions or deleting one of the useless partitions that Dell has (ie the backup "D" partition and the embedded XP "media button" partition). Maybe when I do the next disk upgrade!I put the drive to heavy use, creating many small files and then combining them into large files. The drive is not loud, but can be heard if my laptop is on my lap. The noise is nothing compared to the CPU fan when it comes on which is probably due to it being full of dust after all the years of use.The highest importance is the reliability. I do not want to waste days to recover from a failure. Also, I do not want to back up constantly like my Mac's do. I do not use cloud storage - which would be very reliable - because the only files I would put on there I do not trust to be on the Internet. Since Snowden revealed the existence of back doors, one can be sure that criminals are using them.That being said, after three months of frequent use, this drive has been solid. I will update this review if a failure occurs in the two year period (and downgrade the five star rating if that were to happen).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WD consistently delivers quality and reliability at a fair price
*by G***S on September 21, 2015*

I've had lots of experience with WD drives, all of them good. Bought this as a replacement for my Mom's laptop. Computer repair shop quoted her at least $20 more than what I paid, and that was just for the hard drive, extra for labor. Told her to forget the repair shop, ordered this one and installed and set it up with no problems.I've had poor experience with Seagate hard drives and when my Mom's laptop failed and we determined that it was due to a failing hard drive I bet her that it was a Seagate hard drive; it was. She had only had the laptop about 5 years. As a side note, I also used a WD hard drive when I repaired her desktop computer over 5 years ago. I have several WD drives of my own (netbook, 2 laptops, 2 desktops, and several externals both 3.5 and 2.5) and have been more than satisfied with the products and the company.
