It sort of shocks me that you did not even bother to blow the dust off before inserting the replacement HDD.
I was thinking the same thing.
i agree
Vaccum clean that thing
I was literally going to say the same thing, disgusting.
i cringed
Damn dude that's a lot of dust
lol
My PS3 was flashing access error and locking up. I swapped in a new drive and followed these instructions. PS3 is now working great. Thanks for making this
Thanks for explaining how to get to safe mode. Most of the currently tutorials on how to upgrade fat PS3s were written when this model was still relatively new and didn't have issues with simply popping in a new HDD, which can cause issues after pressing the pwr button. Much appreciated man!!
Thanks a ton I had been stuck with a 40 gb ps3 for 7 years thanks so simple
7 years!!! how?
How did you manage 40 gigs for 7 years
@@ThrashHim literally would only play one or 2 games if I wanted a new one I would delete one to get space
8 years ago, and i thank you now. This was very simple. Thanks again.
Make sure you don't bother cleaning the dust from the hard drive slot in the PS3. New Harddrives LOVE tons of dust all over their connections.
Thank you sir for the video, it helped a lot. Been struggling with the stock 80GB for the past few years. Just bought a 500GB HDD, now I can install and finally play GT6.
Ryu Lord Hell yeah. :)
Mochi gta 6? you mean 5..
Jesse Powell I should've gotten a 1TB one. Thought 500GB would be enough for all my media and games I guess it wasn't. :)
Where dis you get your new hard drive ?
@@Anna-vx5bg maybe he meant Gran Turismo.
Just upgraded my 500 GB PS4 to 2 TB and put the 500 GB hard disk to my PS3 by watching this video. Thanks a lot!
+Batuhan Akdeniz Exactly what i did
Hangı marka harddisk? Link atabilir misin?

Thanks for your comment I’m going to do this for my PS3 because I upgraded my PS4 to a 2tb
This video just saved me from a total headache. I didnt know how to access the Safe Mode on the PS3 nor i did I know about making folders for the software update on the USB drive. I just installed a 500GB on my system it all went well. Thanks
Just used this video to put in a 1TB hard drive (Western Digital) into my 1st gen PS3 (CECHA01) and had no trouble whatsoever. It recognized it easily and the whole process was very easy to do. Thanks for a great DIY vid! :)
New WD Blue 1 TB thanks to this vid. Never knew I could change my HD. Now I'm not so eager to buy a PS4.
10yrs past and this video is still helping folks like me out👏😁
This old video helped me out. The official playstation website doesn't go into detail about the two file names.
I know this is really old, but I appreciate this tutorial. My PS3 is an oldler PS2 BC model. It has a 500GB hard drive installed (bought it used on eBay a couple years ago.) The large space has been nice and I've been able to fit a lot on it. Recently with the announcement of the store closing I've decided to buy some more digital games in interested in before they're gone forever. But I can't download them for some reason. So I might need to change the hard drive.
Where you downloaded your update from when you reformatted your system?
Thanks. I've done the steps according to that video a few days ago and here what goes different:
- I could not to copy saves to USB drive until I bought PSPlus membership (I've done it so far), by now it must be some premium service;
- copy protected save (DeusEx: HR) doesn't copy to the cloud (and of course to usb too).
So now I have upgraded my ps3 80GB to 500GB (it is worth to do) but must play again about 6hr of DeusEx.
same thing happened to me but at least ps+ isnt horrible to have....sucks about DeusEx though
This video was a great help to me. Just upgraded my PS3. Thank you so much. I just wished that we were capable of saving full games onto a flash drive, too not just saved data.
had a little trouble getting my ps3 to read my flash drive but once it finally picked it up everything flowed just like the video thanks Peyton you know your stuff man and made it easy to follow cool vid
Thank you so much this really helped me in upgrading my ps3 hard-drive I could not have done it with out watching this video. This is the best step-by-step video out there!!!
I just put in a new hard drive into my 60gb backwards compatible ps3. it just booted up with updated firmware. didn't need usb stick. awesome.
"Don't let your cat knock it around"
Felt that.
Great video!! I just switched out the old hard drive with a new one (following you steps) and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much!!!
thanks for the video! i successfully installed my new hard drive!
if any one has trouble removing the screws try using pliers and use alot of force!
AtomicFox thanks man for an advice with pliers!
Just used this to upgrade an 80GB PS3 to 500GB in 2021. Thank you so much!
Just one thing the author forgot to mention
"USB device is formatted to the File Format FAT 32 or FAT 16. The PS3 will not recognize NFST File Format"
Arun Thakur It's actually NTFS.
Great straightforward tutorial. I upgraded my slim PS3 from 160gb to 1tb. Im glad i didn't get rid of the 160 because i recently bought a 60gb backwards compatible PS3 so I can upgrade using the 160. (I really hope you went back and cleaned out all that dust BTW.)
Tysm. My ps3 hard drive died so I really needed this
Apart from the dusty console,. Thank you man! This was crystal clear and very straight to the point.
Thank you... Just put ps4 hard drive into fat PS3 originally only had 40 GB. Now 500 thx was very easy to do.
+maes33 I'm going to be doing the same thing
Brilliant! Thanks very much for this, my 40gb is now a 500gb. Very informative :-)
Man, thanks for the nice vid. Glad your cat is helping you.
I'm assuming it's normal, as this video is over a year old.. but after sliding in the new drive and allowing it to format and restart the system, it booted up with my accounts in tact. I'm guessing that the accounts are saved in system and not on the HDD? Because that seems strange. O_o
Thhis video made my life 1000x better. Thanks man, earned my sub
Good video! Thanks! Upgraded my old 40gb HDD to a 240gb SSD because I needed more space to play GTA V ;)
Thank you for not fucking rambling. Straight to the point and helpful.
Thank you for posting this. I swapped my 160 gb HDD for my 500 gb PS4 HDD. I found that I had to put the flash drive in port #1 in order for the PS3 to recognize that there was stuff on it. Odd, but whatever works, I guess.
Cheers for the video. Not a hardware guy myself but i managed to upgrade my PS3 hard drive with ease. Used 1 TB SATA II hard drive that works like a charm.
I put a SSD in it, now it loads incredibly fast
Same
Whats a ssd?
@@asenciolosangeles6778 the thing he put in it
@@asenciolosangeles6778 faster type of hard drive!
@@asenciolosangeles6778 solid state drive its supports faster loading times for games
Yeah. On the xbox 360, the hdd affects backwards compatability. Only official ones will be backwards compatable.
Not sure. Most people will use either a usb drive or an external hard drive, I read about a guy that used an ipod classic to back up the data so it seems that their are a number of ways to do it.
Thanks for the video :) Now just one question... Where can I buy a harddrive for my ps3? xD
I just (2014-01-04) used this procedure to upgrade from 40 GB to T TB (aka 1000 GB). I installed a Seagate ST1000LM014 which you can buy at most computer stores or online (TigerDriect, NewEgg, etc.)
Thanks a ton man. Like many people have said, I decided to use my PS4's hard drive on my PS3 lol.
My PS3 is a fat model with no PS2 support and I wanna replace the HD with a 500GB HD.
Thanks Man just Upgraded original 60gb to 120gb helped a lot
Thanks man your video held me a lot I just update it from 30gb to 1TB wow amazing 🎉🎉🎉 2022
Thanks bro! Just upgraded from the 40gb to 500gb and it works great.
Good, concise tutorial.
I think PS3 updates have prevented the select multiple option for save data folders. I had to open each save folder and then it would let me select multiple. Making a 1 minute job a 5 minute job, having to do this for each game's save folder.
Another note a few save files wouldn't copy to USB. GT5, GT6 (although there was a second save file in each of their folders that would copy) and I think Killzone 2. These save files seem to be locked
Also noticed I had a corrupt save file at the bottom of the list
Thanks again
thanks for this man it was very helpful.
Yo, if I’m replacing a ps3 hdd, with a ps3 hdd, would I still have to format the hdd and reinstall the software?
I feel you did a great job of explaining everything.Thanks for taking the time out!
Nice tuto. It helps me alot Thanks ! Which software do you use to copy file on your pc? It seems cools. Thanks
Delighted that this worked first time great vid, thanks
I hunted for hours to find a quality video of how to do this. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
Make sure the flash drive is formatted to FAT32, not NTFS. I just had the same problem. Fixed it by reformatting to FAT32.
You can do everything he did in this video,but instead of downloading firmwire from website,go to ps3 setting and back up your entire system to the flash drive,put in new hard drive and flash it like he did in the video or you can on your computer in FAT32 FORMAT.After you flash it go to ps3 recovery menu like he show you and install your os.
Hey do you have to have Playstation Plus to be able to copy your saved data utility? Nice video, keep it up:)
PUP-file-s....often referred to Potentially Unwanted Programs. I know because my customers often have those files.....
really good and solid video going to try it today but be carefull because cats aren't good for your harddrives or anything metal it can produce static and its really bad
Thanks buddy because of you my fat original ps3 went from 40 gig to 120 lol. Used an xbox 360 old HD that didn't work on my console took it out now it's a ps3 HD lol you da man took 5 min l.
hey question for you. i have a 40 gig hd in a fat console as well. when you put in a new drive, do you have to make sure it is an IDE, or are they all SATA, or what? 40gB sounds more like IDE, and 120-320's seem more like SATA... if my memory is correct, but im not sure?
Pretty sure sata. It's been awhile but I had a hd I got for my xbox cheap China one that didn't work on xbox so I took out and put in ps3 then put in the usb with the update from ps site and it all worked.
So the ps3 has 120 now. Got a 320 aftermarket for xbox that actually worked
You didnt leave said link in the description. But thank you for the video, giving it a go right now with an old laptop Seagate 320g at 5400 rpms.
thanks! I put in the Intel SSD, works great! replaced my old OEM Toshiba 80GB HDD.
You rock!!! By the way you were the only one i could trust and it came out all perfect !! Thank you very much! I liked and subbed!!!
This was WONDERFUL! Thank you!
I'm going to attempt to Install my 320gb hard drive tonite lol great video.
The screws in my hard drive tray are really tough to get loose.
Mine has the original 60gb hard drive all fixes did not work had it stored in the box for year's when the video went out now the hard dive won't read it got shorted on a guys tv when plugging it in.
solved trouble shooting jic
If the update can't be read off your USB drive, make sure the USB drive is formatted to FAT32. NFTS and exFAT don't work. if your computer won't let you format back to FAT32, find an older flash drive or look for more solutions online. hope it helps!
Just used this video to help me upgrade my 80 GB PS3 to a nice 1TB drive.
The screws are impossible to get out
starblazers1969 I think it's a Phillips 0 you have to buy a Precision screwdriver. sometimes they sell bits ph 0 for power tools at your local hardware store
No fucking kidding!!!! I had to literally take a pair of pliers and twist them off... It was grueling, my hands hurt so bad after I finally got the last screw out. Jesus christ they really didn't want anyone getting in these things doing any upgrades did they? Fuck.
I just bought a new PS3 that is backwards compatible with PS2 games and I'm planning on getting a bigger hard drive for it will I have to go through this whole process even though I haven't used it yet?
Why would you not dust that before putting new hard drive in. That's reckless my dude
Thanks a lot. I followed step by step and works really good
Great Video.Clean, quick and in English. I`m Subscribing! Thanks!
Believe it or not you don't need to download and update to an HDD when you are switching on the fat model.
Wow, did you find that in a tomb or someting?
I had the same thing happen, besides I was installing a 160GB, so if your issue is different im not sure, but what fixed that error for me was switching flashdrives from a 16gb to a 4gb. maybe try switching your flash drive to a smaller one, or just a different kind.
Thanks. Very helpful video!
Informative thanks!
The while time I'm thinking Can of Air, Can Of Air....
Thanks man, helped tons! Upgraded from 40 GB to 500 GB haha
Can I take a hard drive from one of the fat models out of its metal casing and put it in a newer, slimmer PS3 without the casing? Because it won't fit with it.
Might sound kinda stupid but I'm new to this kinda stuff. What kind of hard drive do i need exactly?
i did everything in this video. but after i put the new hard drive in and did the safe mode start and it said "CANNOT START> THE APPROPRIATE SYSTEM STORAGE WAS NOT FOUND" what did i do wrong?
My power button doesn't work. Can I do that holding the PlayStation button from the controller?
Thanks for quick answer! Now i can change the hard drive!
Thanks for this mate, spot on throughout!
My PS3 won't even power on. I have the continuous blinking red light. Someone told me that all I needed to do was swap out the hard drive and that will fix the issue. Is that true or false? Also where did you get the USB cable that connects your controller to the console? Same question with the hard drive? Order it online or pick it up locally?
Great tutorial, thanks!
My PS3 broke and it would be cheaper to just buy a used one then to fix it. However I dont want to lose save files but it wont turn on to copy to a USB. can i just switch old hard drive to a diff ps3?
I loved all these voice cracks
if your PS3 is connected to the internet are you able to skip the download to a flash drive part?
Can't I let the PS3 format the new HDD and then use my computer to copy all the files from the old one onto it?
Very helpful! Thanks so much!
i have a 60gb ps3 that is ps2 compatible and it still works to this day
Make sure you have a CLEAR USB if it has a bunch of stuff the PS3 won't find. The file I don't think
So, can I put a PS3 slim hard drive in in it?
What size hard drive did you have before the transfer and what size flash drive did you use to transfer the saved data?
I have the old 80gb ps3 and it's nearly full so I'm going to try to upgrade to a bigger hard drive, I just want to make sure I get the flash drive to be the correct size.
By the way, the video helps a lot and I plan to watch it step by step for my upgrade.
Once I press start and select, my screen says a serious error has occurred, what should I do?
Hello Peyton, I just watched your video because I would like to put a new hard drive in my fat PS3 but the problem is i’m Not able to remove the blue screw and no matter what screwdriver i use it just won’t budge so what specific screwdriver did you use? I’m frustrated about this. Would really appreciate your help at your earliest convenience if you could pretty please. Thanks!
I got it, used pliers. Thanks this will be a huge help!
I have a 55GB Fat PS3 that has a clip to pull on, and it slides to the right instead of a straight pull.
