Just buy a compatible 2TB drive, open up the PS3, swap it, and format it. Make sure you back up your data first!
First, you'll need a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive and a small Phillips screwdriver. Turn off and unplug your PS3, then remove the plastic HDD cover on the side. Unscrew the blue screw, slide out the HDD bay, and swap out the old drive for the new one. Secure it back in, replace the screw and cover, and you're good to go!
I've done this myself and it's straightforward. Unscrew the HDD bay, swap the disks, and follow the prompts to format the new drive. Easy upgrade!
