## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this compatible with PS3 super slim? (hope this question hasn't already been asked but i only saw info on first and 2nd gen. PS3's).**
A: You can reprogram a 2TB drive to think it's a 1.6TB drive, which is the largest as PS3 can take as an internal drive. I have done it myself using Seagate Tools, a program, you boot into from a flash drive.

**Q: if i install this in my ps3 (60 gb fat) will it still be able to play ps2 and ps1 games?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is it sealed and in original packaging? Thanks.**
A: Yea it was sealed, but not in original packaging, works great though, just had to format it

**Q: Would this work with a hp 15-p100dx**
A: It will work as long as your notebook does not require a slimline drive. I looked at the specs for the HP 15-p100dx and it does not say it is a slimline. If your notebook has a DVD drive (which I believe it does), then most likely the hard drive is standard notebook size. I would pull out the old drive first to see if it is slim or standard notebook size.
