First, make sure the system is turned off and unplugged. Locate the hard drive bay cover on the side of the PS3 Slim. Remove the screw holding it in place, slide out the cover, and pull out the blue screw. Then, gently pull out the hard drive tray and you're golden!

Why bother? Just get an external drive and save the effort.

Turn off the PS3 Slim and unplug all cables. Flip the console to access the side panel. Remove it by unscrewing the blue screw, then slide out the hard drive tray. Simple as that!
