If you want to recover the PS3 data from it you need either the PS3 it cam from or the EIDroot key from the PS3 it came from as well as the PS3 HDD reader program which can be found in this toolkit (https://ps3.brewology.com/downloads/download.php?id=13974&mcid=4)

If you want to recover the PS3 data from it you need either the PS3 it cam from or the EIDroot key from the PS3 it came from which will require you to jailbreak it as well as the PS3 HDD reader program which can be found in this toolkit (https://ps3.brewology.com/downloads/download.php?id=13974&mcid=4)
If you just want to use it as a secondary storage device for your computer then you just need to plug it into an open sata port and if you don’t have multiple sata ports then you need a sata usb reader like this (https://www.ebay.com/itm/173940824772?hash=item287fae5ac4%3Ag%3AMhQAAOSwdeVdDSDI&LH_BIN=1)[br]

If you want to upgrade your computer’s primary storage where the OS is installed then you either need to buy an operating system installation disc which is the boot disc your computer will prompt you for or you need to clone your old laptop HDD to the one from your PS3 and then extend the data partition to fill the HDD. I use Parted Magic to clone HDD’s but it isn’t for someone not well experience with linux and terminal commands.
