The 12gb has all of your system settings and software and then the hard drive will be for games. I had a 250gb hard drive because i only played gta v and gt7.

Thats the reason of what you need  the mounting braked , cause theres no existing one. Connect it , and when you turn on the PS3 , it will say that it need to format the hdd for write in their own language. Im not sure if you lost the progress of 12GB , but if im not wrong , you dont lost anything. Im going to take some photos for show you

First of all , you will have the ps3 like this , and have to move this door to the right ( to the rear part of your console --> )


Then you will have this.


Theres some photos of the backed and my hdd ( it need to be small one , cause theres not enought space for big one )  . Mount the Hdd into backed , and insert into ps3



This is how it looks , with the screew.


Close the door ( Now , to the left <--- / to the front of the console ).


Do all this things with no power cable conected

Yah , buy a hdd ( i recommend 500GB , cause system use some of them (also , depend of your use ) ) , and you have to buy the bracket for it. Here you got the link of it.

You can do it  without the bracket , only using small piece of eraser behind it ( I dont recommend it , but it works. The function of the bracked its for adapt the space between your hdd and ps3. )

I want to know , if you do it , how it works . Good luck
