Hey, Sloth here.
I've recently purchased a temporary 12GB Super Slim PS3 due to the release of numerous rather exciting games. However, I'm having an extremely slow FPS on pretty much every game I play, this is because GTA V was an 8 GB install and I have barely any space left, well, at least I think so. I had the same issue on my old 40GB fat model, where the frames started dropping as I reached 35GB.
I'm just wondering if it would be wise to use my old hard drive, which is about 4 to 5 years old in my new system? I haven't touched my 40GB since release, it stayed in the console. I was wondering if there are any problems with this? I don't want to damage anything in the process of course. I would much rather use an old one than save me the cost of having to buy a brand new one. I have cleaned all the dust off the old hard drive and its sitting next to me, I've had no issues with it so far, but won't it be worn the hell out?
A lot of people seem to be having problems with these 12GB models in terms of framerate, makes sense.
