Can SATA III drives work on a PS3?

0

Given that SATA III is backwards compatible and also given that I cannot find a SATA II HDD to buy can I connect a SATA III HDD on my PS3?

Nope, there's a difference, PS3 is not completely the same. Some HDDs work with everything except the PS3 – John Demetriou – 2014-12-29T18:02:54.060

It will work. Go ahead.

Install Hard Disk Drive (12GB PS3 / CECH-4201A)

Any compatible 5400RPM 2.5" SATA hard disk drive

The PS3 has a SATA150 controller. The SATA 3.0 is backwards compatible though.

Unless there is a problem in your mobo's chipset or The PS3 has a problem in the drive's firmware, SATA150 controller. The SATA should auto negotiate the speed properly 3. There should be no need for a jumper0 is backwards compatible though.
