USB HD connected to PS3

Hello there,

I am planning to buy an external USB HD (Western Digital-My Book Essential series) for my Laptop and i was wondering ifit's possible to connectit to PS3 by the USB port and transfer data(like music/vids)from my external HD to the console or even use it asa secondary HD for my PS3.

Thx in advance.

yes, it is

Yes but you need to make sure it is formattted in FAT format not the windows NTFS format.

You will want a program like this to format a large HD, the formatter in windows limits the partition size.

mine works and its in ntfsAIH_PSP

Um no it doesn't. NTFS stands for NT Format system and is developed for Windows. The PS3 obviously doesn't run windows. You might want to double check it.
