From the Changing or upgrading the PlayStation 3 Super Slim Hard Disk Drive (HDD), the Superslim will reformat the hard drive and it will be ready for use. You can also review PS3 Backup Utility if you want to backup and restore the information from your old hard drive before you upgrade to the larger drive you purchased.
