the sata dock supplies power to the drive and connects by usb to the PC/LAPTOP... then i presume it will appear as an available drive and you can just copy its contents to your laptop or pc

 

seriously? I wish I knew about this when my ps3 broke. The question though is: will the ps3 be able to recover from a back up created by a PC as opposed to encrypted by the xmb or at the very least, will save files be easily distinguishable from the rest of the clutter?

So all I do is take the PS3 HD out just like it is put it in the toaster XD XD , connect it with usb to the PC and start copying mai files? My dad has one and he is kinda smart and i belive we did try something like this although it didnt find the drive because PS3 has some weird format or something...

 

Are you just guessing or do you really think this will work? Because if i take it out and it wont work then i cant put it back (Since it will ask to reformat lol).

If you got YLOD ( yellow light of death ) that means hardware failure. If you got red flashy light going on that means your PS3 is overheated and needs to bu turned off for 2 hours. Just read the manual ( page 13 i am not sure )

you can try it with a laptop hdd first. I haven't tried it either so I don't know. It seems like it should work though. However, the points I raised above will still haunt you
