This article will help you if your console has little memory , or even if you have a lot and have overloaded with games that give to be on PlayStation Plus.

What we need to expand the memory of our console it will be an external hard drive a USB cable for connection and, of course, the PlayStation.

  • Once we have the three things, the first thing to do is as follows, connect the hard disk to the PC and when connected will open the start menu.

  • Then we'll get in the Control Panel, Security System, Administrative Tools, Computer Management and once there, we'll get to Disk Management .

  • When we have reached the desired route we'll get into the external drive , then there'll see what format it is. If the external drive is in NTFS delete the partition , so that the next thing we do is in FAT 32 is reading the PlayStation 3. In the event that NTFS was what we will create a new partitionin FAT format 32.

  • If it turns out that our external hard drive was already in FAT 32 or as we have done in this format the partition, which will have to do the following. We will open My Computer and do double click on your hard drive.

  • Once inside, our peripheral will be completely empty. Now what we have to do will be 4 folders with the following names: Photos, Music, Video and Game . These folders will be identical to those found in the PlayStation 3 and you only have to do two simple steps, the first being safely remove the hard drive and finally connect the console to enjoy our memory upgrade.

IMPORTANT : When you format a hard disk you lose everything inside, do not do this if you haveimportant data inside (I recommend that, in that case, make a backup ). And another thing, the FAT32 format is somewhat slower and does not accept files larger than 4GB so it will not help you store such things though few films exceed this duration.

Are you also void of memory?. I hope this article has been helpful and you can win a few gigabytes or even teras your console.
