    • Turn the PS3 over and lay it on its backside.

    • Use the flat edge of a metal spudger to pop up the small access door on the bottom cover near the front of the PS3.

    • Remove the blue Phillips screw hidden under the access door.

    The access door is self-retaining and hinged on the left side. Use the spudger to pop up the door a bit, then rotate the door out of the way.

    • Slide the hard drive bay cover toward the right side of the lower case, then pull it away from the front edge to remove it from the PS3.

    • Using its attached metal handle, pull the hard drive out of its bay.

    • This is a SATA 2.5" Hard Drive. It can be swapped to another HDD or to a SSD, just make sure it meets these two specs.

    • Remove the four 4.3 mm Phillips screws securing the hard drive to its tray.

    Just make sure you have the right screwdriver for the job - Due to over tight screws it is easy to make the screws be not able to unscrew.

    so, if i change the hdd, what about the ps3 OS? is installed in some sort of rom?

    Thomas -

    Thomas - The OS gets re-installed when you power up for the first time with the new hard drive installed - It was a while back now when I did mine - You either get the PS3 to download it automatically or you can put the file you download from playstation.com on a memory stick and point the installer at that.

    Swiss army knife with a phillips attachment worked perfectly. The cross handle undid in about half a second per screw what I couldn't undo for 10 min with a small electronics screw driver :/

    I did not get an option to download, so had to use a memory stick.

    Once you download the PS3UPDAT.PUP file from sony you need to put it on a FAT-32 formatted memory stick in the folder /PS3/UPDATE/

    Problem: Beim Einbau der neuen Platte wird irgend welche Software verlangt. Wie geht es weiter?

    Du musst die ps3 firmware hier herunterladen. http://deu01.ps3.update.playstation.net/...

    Danach nimmst du einen beliebigen USB-Stick, formatierst den auf deinem Computer als Fat32. Dann erstellst du auf deinem Stick einen Ordner namens PS3 in diesem Ordner erstellst du einen weiteren Ordner namens UPDATE. In den UPDATE Ordner kannst du dann die „PS3UPDAT.PUP“ Datei die du heruntergeladen hast reinkopieren. Danach kannst du den USB-Stick an die PS3 anschliessen, die Konsole einschalten und den Anweisungen auf dem Bildschirm folgen.

    What if when you give power to the PlayStation it says that the hard drive is displaced. Does this work for that as well?

would it be possible to replace it with an ssd?

Cian - Réponse

Yes. Done it already.

joachimmoeller -

Yes, but do not expect huge performance improvements, especially if you run games from a physical format (i.e. Blu-ray disc).

João Pedro Almeida -

You definitely can. That will give you less heat to deal with, less noise and vibrations... But the speed gain will probably not be that significant as the PS3 is limited to SATA 1 if I recall correctly...

Replacing it with a 7200 RPM HDD would be more worth it on the price/quality ratio, as 2.5" 500 GB HDD are pretty cheap nowadays.

Забыли написать про процедуру скачивания и установки самой системы на новый жесткий диск:

Этот гайд только показывает как заменить жесткий диск, но не как его потом настроить для использования после замены.

This guide only shows how to replace a hard drive, and not how to set up it for use after the replacement.

Mykhaylo -

The blue Phillips screw that allows me to access the hard drive way is so incredibly tight that it's, for me, impossible to remove. Do you have any suggestions?

Jordan Schivek - Réponse

Another point forgotten in this article is the exact dimensions ( x/y/z ) of the bay and hdd so a SSD can be used.  One size does NOT fit all.

R G O 2 - Réponse

Do you need to format the new ssd before you insert it or is it possible afterwards?

Jps68 - Réponse

The PS3 will format the drive for you. But you do need a USB drive formatted with a FAT32 file system and the firmware inside /PS3/UPDATE/ in order to install the OS into the drive you’ve just installed in your PS3.

João Pedro Almeida -

can the drive be upgraded? I have a 160 gig 3001A model but I want to put a 500 gig drive into it….

Kann man ohne weiteres meine jetzige Festplatte 320 GB in eine andere Slimkonsole wechseln. Meine alte ist defekt, nur die Festplatte nicht. Mfg

Was kostet ein neues Laufwerk für playstation 3 slim

Would a Samsung 870 evo 250GB work in this case?

Cooper Quintrall - Réponse

I was very pleased to find this guid thanks to the help of Andrew Bookholt and many others like him from Ifixit. However, I feel that I should mention in my own experience it is really easy to break the screws that hold the HDD in its spot on the HDD tray, and I would recommend being careful about putting too much force on the screws because it doesn't take a lot to completely break them. They break quite easily compared to others I've used in the past and I had to force one of these broken screws out to remove the HDD. Fortunately, I had all the mounting screws from an old PC case for an SSD that worked perfectly with the new SSD that I installed. If this happens to you, make sure you have an extra set of screws on you.

Is there any step to be done after the disc change? Like, to recover all the old save files?

Franco Iván Bello Rojas - Réponse
