Third PS3 slim model. The Blu-ray drive's daughterboard controller was integrated into the main motherboard.

With some of the later manufactured date code 1A models, metldr2 was introduced to supersede the exploitable metldr that previously allowed the installation of CFW (Custom Firmware).

Some variants came with the IHS glued directly to the die of CELL/BE, using an epoxy resin glue. This glue is much tougher than the previous glue found on earlier models and can easily lead to the die cracking while attempting a delid. Therefore delidding the CELL/BE is not advised on this model.
