It should. As long as you have SATA inputs on the motherboard. You may want to check the Dell site. You may also need a longer SATA cable.

Was this answer helpful?00

A:

Hard drive manufacturers in the past, 10 years or so ago, had fairly long term warranties. In recent years, in Seagate's case, this went from 5 to 3, then to 2 years warranty. I'm afraid that 2 years is most likely what you'll get for a warranty, but the product may last longer depending on usage. I still have 1 hard drive that had a 5 years warranty, but it's still going strong at 8 years.

A:

Seagate has been known to extend their warranties to 5 years if you can prove it was an actual failure on their part.

I would save and print that page you saw with the 5 year warranty, because they would then have to honor it, in my opinion.

A:

Seagate only does 5 years on server line HDs which generally cost more. 2 years is still pretty generous as most other manufactures have gone to 1 year on desktop hard drives.

Alot of things get misprinted these days. I noticed a couple of them had a 5 year warranty on them when I bought my two aswell. Best to assume everything in the electronics world is a 1 year warranty unless thoroughly printed. In this case 2 years. :)

Was this answer helpful?00

A:

As long as your computer/mother board supports SATA (Serial ATA HD) it should support this drive. All newer SATA drives work with older SATA standards so even if you have a stat 1.5gb controller it will work fine with newer SATA 3 or 6 drives. Sometimes older BIOSes will only support 2TB but you should be fine as this is a 1TB drive. If you have the older IDE connecter (a wide flat ribbon cable) then you will need a PATA drive which you may have to order online as they are getting pretty rare at the stores.

Answers

A:

This is an old question but maybe someone could still benefit from a response. I am sure the PS3 uses a 2.5 inch drive. This is a 3.5 inch drive. If you are still uncertain, open up your box and look at the drive, and the connectors plugged in to it. Then use a search engine for images of "2.5 SATA" and "SATA cable" and the like and I think you'll know for certain. You might also remove the current drive and bring it in to Best Buy and I'm sure they would steer you correctly. I am just trying to be helpful; I don't have one of my own so I'm not an authority on these matters.

The specific Seagate Barracuda 1TB listed, SKU: 8490625, carried a 5 year warranty. However this SKU has not been in production for a while and Best Buy may or may not have this in stock. Best bet is to check with Best Buy to make sure you are getting the correct SKU as newer SKU numbers may have only a 1 year warranty. Make sure you check with Best Buy before purchasing.
