Want to replace the mechanical hard drive in your Original PS3 with an SSD? Console Wizard supplies and installs a 500GB SSD for £109.99 or a 1TB SSD for £149.99, with system setup and operation testing.
What an SSD Changes in an Original PS3
An SSD stores data without the moving parts used by a mechanical hard drive. It can change how quickly some storage tasks complete, but the PS3 interface and the design of each game limit the result. This service does not promise a fixed percentage speed increase or higher frame rates.
Choose between the existing 500GB and 1TB options for capacity. The upgrade does not replace the processor, memory, optical drive or motherboard, and it cannot resolve a fault in those components.
Installing and Testing the Selected SSD
The selected new SSD is included in the service price. We fit it, complete the system setup required for the PS3 and test console operation with the replacement storage.
Tell us whether the old disk is working and whether existing saves or other files matter to you. Transfer is possible only where the data is recoverable and compatible with the backup process; a failed or corrupt disk may prevent it.
Data Transfer and Existing Storage Problems
Back up accessible important data independently before sending the console. The PS3 backup system does not preserve every type of data under every circumstance, so fitting an SSD is not a guarantee that all content will survive.
If the console already shows update errors, cannot reach the menu or has a previous drive modification, report that history. A separate hardware or software fault may need diagnosis before the storage installation can be completed. Any different required repair is discussed first.
What the ssd upgrade includes
• New 500GB or 1TB SSD installed
• System setup and operation tested
Price, options and important details
The 500GB SSD service is £109.99 and the 1TB service is £149.99. Existing data can only be transferred where recoverable and compatible with the backup process. A failed old drive may prevent transfer, and this service does not guarantee data recovery.
Warranty and assessment terms
Successful work has a three-month warranty from the repair date covering the original fault repaired. It does not cover unrelated faults elsewhere in the console.
