READ IF YOU PLAN ON UPGRADING HDD
Just got my 12GB slim and before firing it up I was going to put in my 500GB HDD. Please note the following:
* There is no physical 2.5" SATA drive installed.
* There is no HDD mounting bracket, that is a separate purchase of which the only one I could find available on Amazon is this:
TOMTOP Mounting Bracket System CECH 400x
So another $15 unless you can find the $10 Sony branded kit.
I guess the problem was me assuming it had a 12GB 2.5" SSD, where in actuality it is flash memory embedded on the board. I have the drive in there and rigged up so its not going anywhere, but it's just unfortunate this was not well documented. Maybe it was and I missed it.
