all portable media storage devices, like memory cards and external hard drives, work if you click triangle on the xmb screen then click display all.

I just bought seagate external hard drive 400GB from bestbuy and when i got home thing doesnt read NTFS on ps3. Which sux also that the windows xp doesnt let you format FAT32 and after looking for forums i've read alot people also having problems trying to format. The only solution that people find is to use a mac to format to FAT32 but i figure it out how to format to FAT32 in windows xp without splitting the storage or without using a mac.

Thumbs up here is a good one

I use a 500Gb Western digital without having to do anything except plug it in. It does work cause I screwed up my install and had to reformat my whole drive and it worked well putting all my game saves and material back which was 8Gb in itself. Not a bad buy at 99.00. Hope this helps.
