All you have to do is upload it onto a flash drive or somethin' and replace the HDD and upload the files from your flash drive or whatever.

I don't really know, whatever flashdrive or memory card that has enough for any stored content on your drive will do fine.

any games/dlc that youve bought from the psn store can be re-downloaded since youve paid for them already.just go to your purchase history and dowload them again.the only thing that would need back up are game saves.
