It will work. Go ahead.

Install Hard Disk Drive (12GB PS3 / CECH-4201A)

Any compatible 5400RPM 2.5" SATA hard disk drive

The PS3 has a SATA150 controller. The SATA 3.0 is backwards compatible though.

Unless there is a problem in your mobo's chipset or The PS3 has a problem in the drive's firmware, SATA150 controller. The SATA should auto negotiate the speed properly 3. There should be no need for a jumper0 is backwards compatible though.
