You just need a FAT32 formatted external hard drive. Plug it into the USB port, and your PS3 should recognize it automatically. Easy peasy!

Simple! Connect your external hard drive to one of the USB ports on the front of your PS3. Then, go to the 'Game' tab in the XMB menu, scroll down to 'Saved Data Utility (USB Device)' and start transferring your files.

Your hard drive needs to be FAT32 format. Connect via USB, and you should see it pop up on your PS3 menu. From there, you can transfer files using the 'Saved Data Utility' option.

Honestly, just plug it into the USB port. Make sure it's FAT32 and you're good to go.
