SmartAlign Technology for Easy 4K Migration
A change is coming to the hard drive industry. The smallest sector of organized data on a drive is moving from 512 to 4,096 bytes. The new format, known as Advanced Format (AF) 4K, offers advantages like increased efficiency, but migrating your drive can be challenging. Luckily, Seagate is ready to help you make a seamless transition to 4K sectors. Seagate's SmartAlign technology automatically does the work of AF migration in the background. The drive's performance is not affected, and there is no need for time-consuming utilities required by other AF-enabled drives.

As for the HDD itself so far it's working just fine after installing it. If you have never replaced your HDD in your PS3 Slim it was a very easy process. This is a 500GB HDD that equates to 465GB once installed due to how the system reads it. After the PS3 takes up its own internal space you are left with 412GB for games etc. But that now pure space you have left to use up where a 160GB PS3 left me with about 112GB give or take.
As far as the install it was very easy into the PS3 slim, in my opinion even easier than the old Fat PS3. However new to the slims is once you replace the HDD make sure you have the latest PS3 System update ready to go on a USB drive or else you will not be able to restart your PS3 and sign on to do your restore of data that you backed up.
It seems fast, very quiet so far and in about a month I will update once I it's been used for a little bit. The Price is great for this HDD which I saw for about $20 more a few other places.
UPDATE 20 June 2013- So its been about 7 months since I installed this HDD on my PS3 and it runs like a champ. Still have close to 300GB of space after Downloading many games from PS+ instant game collection. Its very quiet and has never once had any issues. I would highly reccommend this drive to anyone looking for an upgrade.
I have been looking for a larger harddrive for my PS3 because of all the things I have installed on there. When I found out that you are allowed to do this and it is really simple, no matter what type of PS3 you have. I have a PS3 slim and it was super easy. To get the harddrive out I had to open a little hole area on the bottom of the system and unscrew one screw. Once I did that there is a piece in the front bottom right of the system that slides out and then you can slide out the harddrive. With the drive out I could put the new one that I had into the protective case and then put it into the PS3. It booted up fine and clean. I then put my other harddrive back into my PS3 and made a backup of the system on to my external harddrive. With putting the new harddrive in I just copied my backup over to my new harddrive and everything was there. It was a simple process.
I thought It would be a great idea to change out my 80 GB hard drive for a much bigger - bigger one the 500 GB one Seagate ST9500420AS Momentus 7200.4 SATA 3Gb/s 500 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive . I followed all the instructions on the playstation website. It worked fine. However I have advice for the hardcore folks with extra money. First off the folks at Sony I am sure have tested different sizes of hard drives. I highly recommend that you do not upgrade above the largest one that ships with the new playstation machines. Why? Well the system really bogs down when you load that hard drive with hundreds upon hundreds of GB's of stuff. Photos, music, game saves, games, and anything else that will go on the thing. Plus you will need a way to backup your precious data. Items bought off the Playstation Network. Movies, videos, etc.
However if you do decide to go with this hard drive it does work fine. I highly recommend that you buy yourself a USB 500 GB external hard drive Seagate 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST905004EXA101-RK (Black) for exclusive use of backing up the PS3 and copying stuff that it allows you to copy. You will need to delete the partition that it comes with and re-partition it with the FAT32 standard. I have tried several, and I mean several different methods of attempting to change the USB drive to any partition above 32 GB. The only software I found to work is from Paragon called Paragon Partition Manager. You will need to purchase it since the demo version does not allow you to delete a partition. This software is the very best so far and does not cost that much. $40.

Zum Glück konnte ich alle Daten noch rechtzeitig sichern, bevor nichts mehr ging. Der Einbau der Seagate gestaltete sich völlig problemlos, ebenso die Installation des Betriebssystems. Alle Programme und Funktionen konnten wieder hergestellt werden.
Sie läuft schnell und angenehm leise und das seit 2,5 Jahren. Ich bin sehr zufrieden und deshalb von mir 5 Sterne und eine absolute Kaufempfehlung für dieses Produkt. Es sollte allerdings auf den Preis geachtet werden, der sich zwischenzeitlich fast verdoppelt hat.
Now to play all those games I couldn't fit on my old drive! :D
je recommande ce produit d'une très bonne qualité
maniable solide et très peu encombrant
