Upgrading Your Hard Drive in a PlayStation 3
Upgrading your PlayStation 3 hard drive is a relatively simple task that can improve your system's overall performance. If you're looking to store more games and media, a larger hard drive will make it possible while also increasing the speed of your console.
Steps
- Before beginning, make sure to back up any important data on the PlayStation 3 hard drive to an external device.
- Unplug your PlayStation 3, then open the case. Make sure to be careful when opening the case and do not pull the case off, as this could damage the wires inside and break your console.
- Remove the old hard drive. The PlayStation 3 hard drive is usually a 2.5 inch drive, and it should be easy to locate and separate from other connections.
- Attach the new hard drive. Place the new hard drive into the same slot as the old one. Make sure it is firmly seated and connected to the power and ribbon cable.
- Put the PlayStation 3 case back together. Make sure all wires are securely in place before putting the case back on.
- Plug in the PlayStation 3 and turn it on. You may need to set up the PlayStation 3 again. Navigate to your account settings to check that the new hard drive is recognized and working.
