Im also on kmeaw but I have the oringal 60gb CECHA so I cant switch to that. Look at the back of ur ps3 where the cerial is and if it ends in one of the #'s in the thread it wont allow hhds to be swaped on 3.56. If ur still on OFW/CFW 3.55 though you can still swap hdds.

at the back of your ps3 there is a lil lable that says "SERIAL"
the last 7 things shows your model
e.g.: SERIAL: XX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-CECHLXX
(X=number)
