(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The PS3's best type of drive to use is a FAT32, most new Portable HDD's or memory sticks come formatted as NTFS, and most people have no idea how to format them to FAT32 drives so the PS3 will read them..

The PS3 does read NTFS drives but only if they are smaller then 4 GB, the tool below will format ANY drive to make it FAT32, I am posting it because I tried so many methods to make my NTFS 320Gb HDD FAT32 and came across this tool. It is a common predicament so here is the tool.

It has no viruses, I use it all the time now and DEREKTROTTER downloaded it from me yesterday.

Like 800GB FAT32

Will the ps3 read then the ntfs files?


PS3 will not read any NTFS drives over 4GB.

If you have a HDD (external harddrive or a USB stick) whihc is NTFS format it will make it FAT32 so your ps3 will read it.
