Installing bigger HDD on debug PS3?

[Arcadia]

I want to swap my 60GB HDD in my debug PS3, but all guides on how to do this relates only to commercial PS3's, and as far as I can tell this option doesn't exist on the debugs. I can clone the hard drive of course, but that means I won't be able to utilise the extra disk space.

Has anyone done this? Am I better off switching to rebug, seeing as I won't use this to develop games?

i think you should just put in another hdd, and give DEX ofw file as an ps3 update file and that's it.

if you A00A , swap it , it will ask format at next boot up
if J00A , you need usb ready firmware install

Does it need to be formatted to FAT32 or some other file system?
