Don't bother? lol, got it..

Understood and thank you for you insight on the matter. I was reading that there was a way to use a 2TB SSD, but they used Linux and I was wondering if there was a windows way to achieve same the game goal?

proper FW, meaning Official FW? via usb? And then you would need to re-JB?

derp

I was reading some comments from people said they bricked their ps3 just by putting in a new hard disk; So for clarification purposes would that be because they failed for install the "proper FirmWare" as in official FW Via USB and then fallow the same steps as I did when I first JB the PS3?

FTP is slow, but reliable(sometimes) and even with all this information, indeed it seems very over cumbersome just to get a larger hard disk installed because from what I have seen so far there is a lot of explanation, but no step by step guide on how to. Let me try to simplify it.. Ahem... Do I...

True. TBH the last time I used Linux was on the PS3, Yellow Dog Linux.

I concur, much faster and safer. Game save data is priority along with safety I don't want to donk anything up.

I'm not too sure if it's a complete mirror either and after reading the comments I see some people experienced difficulties. I would prefer the safest copy and by hand would seem like so. Okay, so Linux Mint is bootable from a USB, that's convenient. BTW where do I find your toolkit?

It's quite It's cumbersome indeed...

Dupe

Would you care to elaborate? Which are the importante things that's not being backed up? Has no one compared the 2 methods? Looking at @Berion's tutorial and the Ultimate userdata backup guide it seems like you need to have linux?

Thanks for the clarification on this topic. Just one more thing, is this method legit? It looks like there is a tool in settings called Debug Settings > Debug for HDD exchange utility and that seems to allow you to upgrade. The only difference is it that I have a Phat A01 to his slim that's in...

So It's possible to clone the old hard drive to a larger hard drive and expand the storage that way?
