So I had to send back my PS3 Slim after it broke and now (after being refunded) I have the choice of which model to get as a replacement. Currently considering the 12GB Super Slim, but will Dust 514 install and be able to patch with that size storage? I'm only really getting a PS3 for Dust, so I don't really need the extra space as long as Dust works. |

Considering the current file size for codex is just over 6gb (file size has grown with each build) then I would expect the file size to increase to possibly over 15gb once the game gets full launch next year and grows over time. So I don't think 12gb is going to serve you well over time bro |

From my research, you can add a 2.5" drive to the 12GB Super-slim. The SSD is built into the motherboard, so it's actually a bonus.
You need to buy the adapter though

The size is only 2.7gigs. There is a lot of files that aren't cleaned up after each build. If you wipe all dust files off your PS3 and redownload, you're sorted. My DUST file went from 6.9gigs two days ago until I reinstalled and now it's 2.7gigs. |

these guys just took an old PS3 HDD and stuck it in the new one, no adapter here, they've got photos.

edit: although now i look at the photos more, i think the adapter is the HDD cradle and usually Sony will give you one for free if you call and ask for it.
the photos do not show a cradle around the drive but i can see where a cradle is needed.
edit2: also Noc, that video totally doesn't show a HDD install lol |

It shows there is an empty HD bay. Just proving expansion, not swapping. |

Although mine is a "fat" PS3, if Sony follows common sense then the slims should still be able to take laptop-sized HDDs. According to other posts, it looks like you're fine.
About 4 years back, I got a 320gb HDD, and I want to say that was about $60. They should be a little less now though. |
