(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello, Recently a friend of mines Slim ps3 hdd is having corruption problems so he will be buying a new one, What i was thinking is that would it be possible to swap out a slims 250gb hdd with a fat 60gb hdd?

His 60gb got YLOD so I thought it would be an easy swap, unless the hdd sizes are larger or smaller.

Bump Bump Bump =P

U have to download the new update on to usb and inport to the hhd.

all ps3 systems use a standard 2.5" sata drive so you should have no problem upgrading :y:

It will work but the HDD will be formatted and he will have to re-install his firmware via usb.

Thanks Everybody =D

Please close thread Question answered.

firmware has nothing to do with the hdd /facepalm its on the consoles nand if you have a 3.70 and get a brand new hdd it will still be on 3.70 thats why people dont just buy new drives to downgrade

Whenever you switch harddrives you have to re-flash the firmware :dumb:

nevermind i see what your saying now you have to install a newer fw though
