Nope. PS3 doesn't support NTFS formats for external hard drives. Format it to FAT32 if you want to use it.

Yes, but make sure the external hard drive is in FAT32 format. Otherwise, the PS3 won't recognize it.

From experience, I've used my FAT32 external hard drive with my PS3 for game saves and media files with zero issues.

Yep, the PS3 can read an external hard drive, but it has to be formatted as FAT32. NTFS won't work, so make sure you reformat if needed!
