This hard drive is basically a massive thumb drive, because it uses the Fat 32 file system that is compatible to the PS3 and all of it's files. I requires no formatting and it comes with the root files (photo, music, game, video, etc folders) necessary to immediately copy data to and from the PS3. It can also be used on your PC, TV, printer, etc and can become your main external hard drive for transport of data or for backups. Recently I have been using this drive to rip some of my DVD collection to mpeg4 to play on both of my PS3s. I can play the movies and episodes I rip directly from the drive, or copy it to each Playstation. It is convenient not to have to constantly switch disks and instead have a consolidated media library of all your favorite movies.The main selling point, or appeal of this drive is it is currently the ONLY pre-formatted external hard drive available in Fat 32. All others must be modified and formatted, which can take time and require special programs that aren't 100% reliable. Although it is a bit more expensive than other external drives it saves you the agony and trouble of having to partition and format your new drive to use it with the PS3. I have witnessed (friends of mine) and read several horror stories online concerning incompatibility and formatting issues with most external hard drives and the PS3, especially when formatted with recent versions of windows. Windows OS only allows you to create small partitions (not to exceed 32GB) instead of allowing you to format the entire 500GB. So you essentially end up with a bunch of smaller drives, which won't allow you to save large files, such as entire hard drive backups, or massive game or movie files. If you want a drive that you don't have to mess with and that you can literally just plug and play, this is the only game in town. When you are dealing with long backups, sensitive data and important restores you don't want to have to worry if it will work or fail. This works perfectly with the PS3 and it recently came in handy....I bought it mainly for use with my PS3s and specifically to back up both systems, but have recently started using it to store files from my PC, movies, photos and music. My first PS3 fat recently was affected by the "yellow light of death" and I nearly lost all of my video, game saves, photos, and music stored on that system. I was able to get the system running temporarily (a few days) with a quick fix I found online and I used this external hard drive to back it up. I then was able to swap the 320GB hard drive out of my dead PS3 into my new slim without deleting anything, and backup both system's entire hard drives. Now when I get another slim I can use the Digistor to restore the data from my dead PS3 on the new one. Some game saves are copy protected and can only be salvaged by backing up your entire system and can't be copied or moved one at a time. Because I am using about 100 GB of space on both PS3's I needed a drive that could back up both entirely in case of a future failure or the YLOD. This drive can also come in handy for hard drive swaps, and will allow you to use the back up utility without deleting anything off your systems. I have already used it for both and it had no issues. It is fairly small and it comes with a body glove protective case and a short USB cable. It is also compatible with the PS3 controller USB cable because it uses the same female connector as the controller. It is extremely quiet and if not for the small LED power light I wouldn't even know it was powered on.In conclusion, if you are a PS3 owner I highly recommend this drive. The YLOD can strike any PS3 at any time and it is wise to plan ahead to minimize your losses. It can come in handy for file storage, transfers, backups, etc and not only for your PS3 also your PC files, music, photos, etc. It saved me a lot of time, money and trouble and made the whole YLOD issue a lot easier to handle. I know it is more expensive than other similar external hard drives but it is worth every penny to avoid the aggravation and hassle of formatting, and the piece of mind knowing it will work properly without any problems or failure.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This HDD is preformatted for PS3, it has all the folders needed for video, music and photos. If youre planning on upgrading your PS3 HDD (the internal one) you have to have a place to backup your current PS3 HDD because the new one you put in will be blank.This works perfect for PS3 backup. You run the PS3 backup application in the settings of the PS3, choose the USB drive and bam, you get a PS3 backup on the device. Then you open up the side of your PS3 replace the internal HDD with a bare notebook size SATA drive boot back up, plug in the Digistor drive and choose "restore" from the settings and you'll have all your game saves, downloads, etc restored to the new internal HDD.After you're done you have a huge drive to keep backing up your PS3 regularly. There's plenty of space for divx movies, mp4's mp3, pics etc. It's a USB 2.0 drive, but so is the PS3 ports so there's no real limitation there. Oh and its tiny, you don't have to plug it in the wall, so those are two major benefits for me.For the ease of use, and the peace of mind of backing up the PS3 with video and music storage, it is priced pretty well.
