I use this external hard drive to backup all my files on my PC as well since it's 1.5 TB.

I have both my pc (ntfs) and ps3 (fat32) data stored on one 250gb sata usb hard drive. You will also need to create folders in the fat32 called ps3, export and backup so the ps3 can properly store your back up data. you can use a program called swissknife (free-just google) from a pc to partition a usb sata hard drive to fat32 or ntfs.
