,,,please read the question before you post,,,,it clearly states that it 'is' plugged in!
ps,nate you don't even own a ps3 or a high speed drive,,,maybe nxt crystmis.

Answer
First make sure its FAT32, plug it into a PC and right click on it for properties, it'll say 'File System: FAT32'.
You can use SwissKnife to format the drive into FAT32 (make sure there's nothing important on the drive first)

You can only store media such as videos, music n pictures on an external harddrive for the PS3. Game saves, installs, downloads n demo's can only be installed on the PS3's hard drive, so you may just have to upgrade your PS3's harddrive size. its pretty simple and there's many tutorials n videos online of how to do it.

I currently own a WD MY PASSPORT and a PS3

Own:
Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Ultra Portable External Hard Drive (Black)
-It works very well and everything and I love it very much.
PLAYSTATION 3


But here's the problem,

Problem:
I own a PS3 and I want to use it to play my media on the PS3( Musics, Movies). I've researched this up many times and many different blogs, forums, and threads. It tells me that I should reformat the hard drive to FAT32 format which I've done on multiple occasions.. And it seems to still not be able to read. Now it says on the hard drive that it's USB 2.0/3.0 compatible, so there should be no problem there. So I don't know what the problem is! PLEASE HELP!!!!

Want:
-to make WD MY PASSPORT, work on my PLAYSTATION 3. (being able to read the hard drive)
