My recent PS3 has been plagued with the YLOD and I thought I mind as well remove the Hard drive, Buy a new Cheap PS3 without an HDD, and then put my old HDD back in so I can still have all my games and save progress (I am nearly done with Final fantasy VI dammit!) Could anyone provide a link for me and is this even possible to do?
You can't just swap hard dives with the PS3 I'm afraid.. Unless they changed something recently, you have to format any hard drive that's new to the system, in other words- all your data has to be erased before the hard drive can be used with a new system. The HDD and PS3 are linked, I'm afraid.
then you should just get the 12GB PS3, it doesnt have a HDD inside, but you will have to get a HDD bracket thats for the PS3 SUper Slim. You can get those at Ebay or if you already have a super slim, just use that one

Should be able to backup the data still though. Connect it to a computer and transfer all the files off.Â
