Hi riky001, 

 

Fantastic question!  No you would not be able to upgrade your PS3 system by doing that.

You can easily replace the hard drives in any of the PS3's. Just keep to the specs. 2.5" SATA drives. 5,400 RPM is what sony ships with it but you can replace it with a 7,200 RPM drive if you wish. The 7,200 RPM drive will add a little bit more heat to the unit but it will give a nice boost in the load times.
