Upgrading your PS3 hard drive is pretty straightforward! First, back up your data to an external drive. Next, remove the hard drive cover, unscrew the old hard drive, and swap it with a new 2.5-inch SATA drive. Finally, restore your data from the backup!

Just replace the old drive with a 2.5-inch SATA drive, but don't forget to back up your data first!
