As an FYI to anyone looking to swap a new HD in it is very easy but I will caution you. In a recent firmware update( not the most recent maybe 2 before it) Sony changed the way Firmware can be updated to allow it to do smaller updates without the need to download the entire firmware making the file smaller and the process quicker. For some reason some people have had a problem changing HD's after this update. After the new HD is installed it fails to work and placing the original drive in fails as well. Essentially the console gets bricked. I'm not sure if this has been resolved yet. So you might want to check into it.
