Make sure your hard drive is FAT32 formatted. Plug it in via the USB port, and access your files through the PS3 main menu.

Easy peasy! Just make sure your external hard drive is formatted to FAT32, plug it into one of the USB ports, and find it in the 'Video,' 'Music,' or 'Photo' sections on your PS3 menu. Enjoy!

From personal experience, gotta format that drive to FAT32 first. Plug it into the USB, and then access your media through the corresponding sections on the PS3 menu. Simple enough!

Don't forget! The PS3 only recognizes FAT32 format. Once that's sorted, plug in and explore your media from the main menu.

Honestly, just use FAT32. Plug it in and boom, you're good.
