After that, I got myself a sufficiently large external hard drive out of the closet and this because the PS3 can only Fat32 with the software Fat32Formatter 1.1 formatted (by, for example, H de). On the PS3 / UPDATE folder / created and stored in the appropriate (currently installed or newer) System software. Is it possible to download at Sony. Then in the System Menu on restoring a backup created on the aforementioned hard disk.
Then screw on PS3 and installing new hard drive. Start the PS3. This now formatted the hard disk. Then it requires the system update that I had stored on the hard disk. This takes now again something then you have to date etc. Setting short and start the system recovery from the external hard drive. Has approx 7h hand with me for backing up and restoring.
After restoring everything was as before only with considerably more disk space. From the volume and speed I can not tell the difference. Let's see how it is reflected in one year. Despite Advanced Format hard drive works and fits into the PS3. Therefore 5 star it does exactly what it should. Packaging Amazon was great, but on the threads of the screws had a few scratches, but the old hard drive in the PS3 looked exactly like this, so this is perhaps production reasons.
