The PLAYSTATION 3 system hard disk drive (HDD) is removable and upgradeable. An upgrade can be performed by removing the hard drive and replacing it with a larger capacity drive. Please be advised that if you replace the hard drive, the data that was on the original hard drive will not show up on the PLAYSTATION 3 unless you manually back up the data and transfer it to the replacement hard drive.
For complete instructions on how to properly upgrade the hard disk drive, see pages 16-18 in the PLAYSTATION 3 system Safety and Support guide. Be sure to select the correct model PLAYSTATION 3. (To find the model of the PLAYSTATION 3, look on the back on the system and look for the bar code. The model number is the last 7 digits at the end of the serial number label, that start with the letters "CECH".)
NOTES:
The HDD must be a 2.5” internal Serial ATA HDD. Parallel ATA is not supported.
Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc. (SCEA) does not have any information regarding specific compatibility or recommendations for hard disk drives for the PLAYSTATION 3 system. Proper operation is not guaranteed for all models.
Upgrading the HDD will not void the warranty, however, the consumer takes full responsibility when upgrading the HDD.
To back up the data on the HDD, you may use the back up utility on the PLAYSTATION 3.
