So this is probably a dumb question, but I got a refurbished OLED and plan to pop my 2tb drive from my LCD model into the new OLED.

This should just be plug and play right? I don't see anything about the OLED decks using a different OS or firmware or anything.

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback y'all! I'm going to try it and see what happens. I'll report back if anything funky happens. Not a big deal if I end up needing to reformat the drive.

EDIT2: Replaced the stock OLED drive with the 2tb drive from the LCD this morning, and so far so good - no issues to report.

I've cloned a drive from my LCD to use in my OLED. It's mostly fine, but occasionally (every few days), the interface would crash. Weirdly, those crashes went away with time, so maybe an update resolved the crashing I was experiencing?

If you want to reliably leave your games on standby for any amount of time, it's probably best to use a fresh image instead of reusing the existing installation from the LCD model.
