external HDD on ps3.

by chilerojinegro Mar 15, 2010 2:51PM PDT

i have a western digital 1TB my book essential HDD. I want to connect it to my PS3, will it recognize it if I just plug it in? Would I need to format it so it can recognize it?

It appears that many write they had to format it to work with the PS3. Try google or your favorite search engine for more detail.
