PS3 Dead HDD

[taotao07]

A newbie here (sort of)... Have a jailbroken PS3 with HEN, hdd died, I have a spare 256GB ssd that I can use, but how do I get to rock and roll again? I'm guessing it's probably something ridiculously easy but I can't find anything in these forums here and I don't really want to navigate away from using HEN.
Thank you

most ssds will probably work. BUT it will not improve performance like it will in a newer console/pc. if you have another hdd, the sdd is best used in someting else. but if it is all you have, go for it!

I'm done with using spindle drives, SSDs are quiet, run cool and don't fail as often
So the question is, where do I get the OS to throw back on the new HDD?
THank you

well that depends...

you said jailbroken with hen...but hen is not jailbreaking. installing cfw is jailbreaking. newer ps3s can not install cfw. hen is close to cfw but less features.

what is you model? cech-???

I have a fatty - CECHL01. This shows you how much I know about this stuff - that's why I'm here asking the experts.

Some people do use SSDs without much issue, but you should know that the PS3 does not support the TRIM features which is needed to maintain most SSDs so its not recommended to use SSDs on the PS3.

I think it depends how much its used. If you just put games on it and use them, and do not keep removing stuff and rewriting to it, it will probably last a long time before slowing down.

You might need to format it every so often to clean it up. Not sure,

great! you can have cfw. but you must wait until bgtoolset (on ** ** www.ps3xploit.net > Domain no Longer owned by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com) > Domain no Longer owned by team** (NEW URL = http://ps3toolset.com) is updated.

you can use hen untill the toolset is updated.

actually, if he had the PS3 running HEN with any firmware below 4.87, he can use the bgtoolset to install a CFW (no need to wait)
let's say for example that he was running HEN on 4.85 , so he just needs to install OFW 4.85, and then use the toolset to install a CFW of his choice (e.g. Rebug 4.86.1)
