Yes, it is possible to swap HDDs between PS3 slims and PS3 fats. Simply remove the hard drive from both your PS3s and switch them. All your saved games, music, and movies should all be on your Slim PS3.

Yes & No you actually can swap the hdds but they are new so i am guessing you can back up on to a memory stick and copy to the hard drive then I added a link to "Can I upgrade the hard disk drive (HDD) inside my PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system?" that includes trouble shooting procedures. It may be of help and is part of the Playstation Support and Knowledge Center

Can you put an fat PS3 hard drive into a PS3 slim?
Yes it the harddrive is updated with the new model. The harddrive needs to be set up for the system that it is in. It would not be a fat PS3 harddrive in a PS3 slim and still allow the PS3 slim to work. You could not even put it in a different model Fat PS3 without uploading the new information for that model PS3. They are all just standard laptop harddrives (2.5" internal Serial ATA HDD) like all PS3 use and then loaded with the unique model information that only that model can use. You certainly could not use a early PS2 capable harddrive to give your slim a capability to play PS2 games. see related link
