I have upgraded my ps3 to 500 gb.

Now I want to use my ps3 40 gb internal hdd as external. I have heard there is some kind of cable is needed. What cable, where to get it & for how much?

Actually, I need to load some games from external hdd (the games that don't work on internal) on my jailbroken ps3 with kmeaw cfw 3.55.

If it's possible then plz guide me how to do it?

Thanks!

its a sata wire cable kit ! its available in market for 300rs etc ! it can connect ur internal 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch hdds via usb to anything with usbs :) needs external power tho and has some wires etc

or u can just get a 2.5 inch external enclosure for ur hdd and thats it but this would require external power too ! .. hope this helps

over here in lahore we get all our computer needs from hafeez center no idea there in karachi

Ok so it's a complete kit, so what things r included in this kit? What is external enclosure & what do u mean by external power? I didn't understand. A single sata wire cable would not be enough?

no u also would need another power supply cable to connect to the hdd in order for it to power up ! this is an internal drive so it needs power supply aswell not like those passport wd ones which get powered up by usb power !

the kit includes a sata wire,power supply wire and a usb cable to attach to the sata wire and than connect to any usb media :) hope this helps but if u can get a 2.5 inch external enclosure that would be better for u i think !

it would connect like this to the drive


its called the sata+ide usb connector kit

this is the one i have:

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
