(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi Guys,

I use KMEAW 3.55 and Multiman 1.15 to run my backups and it hasnt taken long to eat up my system memory.

I am going to purchase a 1TB exernal USB HDD but dont want to buy one and find its not compatible.

I want to store the backups on the HDD and connect it to my PS3 via USB and launch via multiman, without the need to transfer to PS3

Any experience / advice welcome...

how big is your hdd in your ps now? and how many games you have backed up on your ps

any External HDD will work but youll need to reformat it to fat32 using this You must login or register to view this content.

Its 160GB, got about 12 games but some are big, around 20gb each.

I know I can expand the internal memory but would rather have one HUGE master HDD connected via USB.

Any ideas which models / manufacturers work?

Or do they all work, just need formatting to FAT32?

Any model will most likely work, as long as it's formatted as FAT32. I got a 2TB western digital external drive, and on that i made a 300GB fat32 partition for ps3 games.
But, you should keep in mind that games with a single file larger than 4GB will not work from the external HDD

i dont know i think they all work they just need to be fat32

Thanks for confirming this, will get a 1tb over the next few days!

I got a 1TB external HDD for backups, Works fine backed up 4 games then 3.56 came out now i use it on my PC Still got the games i backed up on it just incase a new CFW comes out

bought a few month ago a 1tb external hdd, dunno if usb 3.0 on ps3 downgrades themself to usb 2.0 so be careful
if you mainly use the hdd to play backupped games i recommended to buy a cheaper usb 2.0 ext hdd like i did
