Upgrade PS3 to 500GB, 1TB or even 1.5TB Hard Drive without using BRACKET
In this video I will show you how to upgrade a PlayStation 3 12GB Slim to a 500GB Slim. Now the only thing you will going to need for this is a plastic membership card (like I am using in the video) or a credit-card, and don't use the one from your parents or the one from your girlfriend because when you are done with this install you wont be able to use the credit-card ever again. That being said, if your girlfriend is already spending to much then this guide will help you solve that issue in less then 10min :-)
Sony does offer a HDD caddy, bracket (whatever you wanna call it) package. I think its about 10 euro's and I think its pretty much the same in US Dollars. Seeing am dutch and we don't like to pay more then we have to I have a trick to install a 500GB,1TB. Some stated they have succesfully installed a 1,5TB 2.5"drive in a PS3 Slim but that seems to be the max.
Apart from a credit-card you will need a harddisk, any 2,5" will do ranging from 5400 to 7200rpm, it will even work with SSD's. I tried 500GB HDD 5400rpm and a 120GB SSD and the install is exactly the same, the SSD is just a wee bit faster :-)
Make sure you watch this video closely and follow the instruction carefully, I will not be responsible for any damage which may occur if you decide to do this install on your own PS3, so if you decide to do this, do this at your own risk.
Then again if you have a brain the size of a cow you will get this done in under 10min easy, just like me.

I have a theory that these brackets are more aloof than the actual hard drives. I bought one without the bracket and refuse to buy a replacement for 25 bucks unless I decide to sell
You suppose to pull the brackets out and mount your drive on it and slide it back in, face palm
Thank you so much for the quick tutorial. Now I can finally play Demon Souls
While the blu-ray disc is 25GB... What an agonizing is that😮😶
I dont understand my ps3 dosent open I have the super slim model im trying to push it and it dosent open am I not pushing hard enough?
Its the same HHD he took out of the console. He just did not have the bracket in the first place. He did not upgrade shit.
What is the size of the hard drive
I'm not leaving a comment cause you should of used a 1.5 tb instead of 500gb and can you use a 2 tb?
Thank you so much for the help.
Tray is not sliding. Can you help?
try to push it down a little bit and pull it harder
I will do this with 1.5TB on my fat ps3, many say 2TB will get error and start even with jailbreak one
Well i do it with my ps4 slim, i pry open the case, grind & remove the hdd bracket, slide in 15mm 4tb hdd, and slide in rolled origami to firmly seated, and now it works
2021
it works
When you're cheap that you can't afford a few dollars on a brqcket
Can y'all link some 500gb harddrive
What if doesn't work
anyone in 2020 who wants a ps5 so bad?? but has ps3
Does with the Google gift card work
why you can so easy to push slide, how so harder on me to open it
You made my day! I have searched awnser for this for years. Now i found you and i can finally play gran turismo 6 and update it! Thank you one more time!
haha this is a funny way to temporarily fix a problem. I have ordered a PS3 SS mounting bracket and until it arrives I’ll use my old credit cards ...🤣👍🏻
Mine isn’t picking up the hard drive ?
Dude thanks worked 100% lots of love from here the only real video that actually worked I liked n subscribed
Did you loose any of the game data or saved data or everything remained the same
Shot, thanks for the help
Dude, ur the best on my life!
Thank You so Much quentin this helped me alot i was looking at my laptop wondering which hardrive i should buy off of amazon then i realized nothings shipping out during corona virus lockdown , then i snapped and remembered my old ps3 slim that had 500gb and went and switched it into my ps3 superslim , and tbh i couldnt have done it without your help so thanks alot ! .
Sour Trollz hey cool, always nice to hear that people find this info helpfull :-)
@@QuentinRademaker hi if I do this do I loose my games (I’ve got nothing from ps store just in game data I have installs from the discs in the beginning like gta or infamous and updates for games like FIFA and Minecraft and saves/auto saves in saved data
Wow super super super
But my I do that but is not work
Where so you buy brackets
I just bought gta5 for 10$. I cant download it because I have 12 gb memory. If I do what you did, my money and my gta5 will dissapear from the playstation store? Pls answer me
Only your saved games as for as i know not you complete game :-)
@@QuentinRademaker I mean that I just purchased gta5 and I dont have enough memory. If I add the hard disk, and the ps3 reset, the money I gave to purchase this game will be nothing? I will have to give money to buy it again?
@@firewater8687 sorry I have no idea to be honest
@@QuentinRademaker ok bro
I highly recommend this video! I actually have the fat ps3 with 500gb harddrive but that ps3 wasn't working anymore so I bought a cheap Ps3 slim with 12gb and swapped it to it. Man I'm glad I did throw away my fat ps3 😁.
It worked
Goddd
U r my hero
thank you very much u change my life
So you dont have to use a usb drive and a computer to make it work
Thanks bro it helps me a lot thank you
Thnsk it helped me
omg thanks
It didnt work for me man whyyyy??
Over heating won't be a problem right? Cause I used thin cardboard instead of credit cards and I don't want my PS3 to be catching fire
Do you have to formatted it???
The original harddrive should have had the bracket attached.
A 1TB SSHD would be a better choice.
Just get the bracket you cheap bastards.
people who did this's system's probably got banned from PSN LOL
Tysm
Can someone help me to find a hard drive
What kind of PS3 do you have?
@@LaraCroftEyes1 super slim 12gb
