New PS4 hard drive: installed. And working fine, so far. The actual hardware stuff turned out to be way less stressful than I imagined - the hardest part was getting the cover off, because it certainly didn't just 'slide' off and I didn't want to crack it. The most nerve-wracking part was screwing screws into the actual hard drive itself, to keep it in the drive caddy, but those screws had little rubber shock-absorber pads, so it was pretty much impossible to overtighten them. They basically got to a certain tightness and stopped. The last screw was just to hold the drive caddy in place, and I had a little trouble with that, but it wasn't near any electronics and I figured it out. I spent most of the day reinstalling games, and downloading EVERY update file since they were released. But now it's all on there, and I reuploaded my save files, and it's all working fine. I had a few things crash, but that's happened before, and probably had more to do with me constantly downloading and updating things and opening them multiple times to make sure they worked than anything. Played some Borderlands and that worked great. And now I have 4 times as much hard drive space as I used to. Hurrah.

I also have a spare 500GB hard drive, with all my old PS4 stuff on it (? maybe?). Interestingly, you can use that to replace the hard drive in your PS3 if you want to, which would give me an upgrade of 180GB. But it would mean doing everything I did today again, and there are WAY more games on my PS3 than my PS4, and I'm not sure backing up your save files would be quite so simple, if it's possible at all. So. Idk.
