Q.
Answer
Yes, i believe so. However my friend used his MAXTOR 250GB external on the PS3, it didn't detect it. So i had to partition 32GB on the external, and format it to FAT32 (something the PS3 accepts)
For some reason, the PS3 didn't detect NTFS (the format the external was in). But now it works because i partitioned the external hard drive. So yours will work to. If it doesn't, partition some of it (less than 32GB so it can be FAT32) to FAT32 so the PS3 can recognize it.
But if you want INTERNAL space, you can use any laptop 2.5" SATA hard drive running at 5400RPM.

Answer
The HDD needs to be formatted using FAT32. If you don't have it formatted as FAT32, the PS3 will not read it.
If you are using a Windows based PC (XP, Vista, Windows 7, etc.), you will not be able to format the HDD to FAT32, you have to download third party software in order to format it.
Most people use Swiss Knife ( http://download.cnet.com/CompuApps-SwissKnife-V3/3000-2248_4-10070864.html ), however, Swiss Knife only formats up to 500GB. If your HDD is bigger than 500GB, you will not get the rest of the memory using Swiss Knife.
I recommend you use FAT32Formatter ( http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/ ). The program is free (just like Swiss Knife), and it will format your whole drive, no matter how big it is. I use a 1.5TB HDD, so I could not use Swiss Knife, and it took me a while to find FAT32Formatter. Not only is it easy to use, but you get all of your memory.
FAT32Formatter is compatible with Windows2000, Windows XP, and 32-bit Windows Vista. If you aren't using one of these, then you will have to find an alternative if you are trying to format an HDD larger than 500GB.
