Largest External HDD for PS3?
Anyone know what the largest external HDD you can use on the PS3 as I am looking to increase my external storage.

That's good...

I just remember reading somewhere that two 1TB drives was better then one 2TB drive when using on PS3. I cant remember why but it might have been about FAT32 on larger drives or failure rates or something.

Anyone using a 2TB external on PS3?

The limit should be 4TB as that is the largest capacity supported by FAT32.
