About this product
This is an original Hitachi Travelstar 120GB PS3 hard drive, a 2.5-inch internal laptop drive operating at 5400 RPM with an 8 MB cache. It's compatible with laptops and designed for HDD Only storage. The package includes a USB Update, indicating readiness for PS3 installation. It features a USB interface, which is unusual for an internal drive but points to the update method.
Our take
This Hitachi Travelstar 120GB hard drive is a practical choice for PS3 owners looking for a genuine replacement or a slight storage bump. The 120GB capacity is a decent step up from the original 80GB drives, offering more space for game saves and digital content. The 5400 RPM speed is standard and provides consistent performance. While the 'USB Interface' in the specs is slightly confusing for an internal drive, it likely refers to an included USB update method for PS3 firmware, which is a helpful addition. The 2.5-inch form factor ensures a perfect fit for laptop and PS3 use.
