First, power off and unplug your PS3 Fat. Locate the HDD cover on the side panel and slide it off. Remove the blue screw and pull out the metal tray. Finally, slide the hard drive out of the tray. Easy peasy!

I did this last week! Unplug the console, remove the cover on the left side, unscrew the blue screw, pull out the tray, and slide the HDD out. It's straightforward!
