Does it format to Fat32, I watch a lot of movies on my PS3 and it only recognizes drive formatted to Fat32?

Well for one that's not true. I watch movies on my ps3 and my flash drive is NTFS. I assume you could do Fat32 but have not tried.

It does however mkv's movies will not work on fat32 If you have good computer you can install plex server and it will stream it to ps3 or any dlna supported device.Thats what I currently do is stream my library with plex media server and I can also access any where with internet on iphone or android

Are you using DVDs? I watch them all the time. Otherwise, check the specs and see exactly what files it does read. unfortunately, im thinking it reads an older format.

No, its not already formatted. But its extremely simple to format. You just need a flash drive that is formatted to FAT32 which you can do under the properties for the flash drive. Then you create 2 separate folders on the flash drive and download the update from PlayStation website. There are tons of YouTube videos that can show you step by step how to do it.

Mine came formatted with the FAT32 file system so I changed it to NTFS and it did it just fine!

It can be formatted with FAT32. When you receive the drive it's pre formatted with either NTFS or exFAT (Don't remember but it's one of the two). That being said the Windows format tool will not format any drive larger 32GB with FAT32. It will only allow you to use NTFS or exFAT. Third party tools can be used to format drives larger than 32GB with FAT32. Google "FAT32 Format by Ridgecrop Consultants Ltd." This tool works, is free and is very simply. Or you can use Windows diskpart to manually create the partition and format FAT32. I have this drive and have it formatted with FAT32 for use in my car to play MP3's. Also, please note that the behavior above is not specific to any particular manufacturer. It applies to any USB/HDD/SSD drive larger than 32GB being formatted in Windows.

From my limited understanding, the PS3 uses a FAT32 file system and not a NTFS. Someone said the Iomega wont work with a PS3 because it uses NTFS. Not exactly sure what all this means since Im not a techie, but I am also hoping to buy this Western Digital if it works with PS3 rather the replacing and switching my 40g PS3 harddrive.

Thanks Victor for the info. i am trying to burn the 1080p content onto DVD-R to see if PS3 can play. It turns out it does see the files and plays them but the audio is choppy. i tried cooying the file directly onto the PS3 Harddrive, even then the audio is choppy...the video is playing well though. any thoughts on how to make the audio better ?

Not sure it is formatted for PS3 as a Fat 32 flashdrive. I would just use a 2TB samsung internal drive for a little more $ personally

it depends how its formatted. If you have a PC, it might be formated for MAC (Mac OS Extended). To be seen and used by both a PC it needs to be formatted in PC version (Fat32 or ExFat). If your drive is clicking very loud its most likely dead.

Technically, YES, it can be formatted to FAT32, but with the filesize limitations, as well as the cluster size for the filesystem, I must beg the question of WHY format it to FAT32? If you want it to be read/write with Mac/PC, then format exFAT. If you want to install DOS/95/98/ME on it, why? Truly, your best option would be exFAT if NTFS is not suitable for your needs.

Yes! I used it for my PS3. No formatting required, plug and play and no difference in speed

I only use it for my ps3 but im sure u could its set up as fat32 so your computer would recognize it as a flash drive.

For it to work on your PS3 the format needs to be FAT32, need to reformat it from NFTS to FAT32.

I know this is probably a useless reply, cause your probably no longer following this question, but are you sure you formatted it with fat32?
