PS3 External HDD For Storing Games On??

Ok guys since buying a 4tb Drive ive since found out that the PS3 needs to be FAT32 and 4Tb does not support that, 2tb at the max for FAT32 apparently.

Got a a Sonnics 2tb off amazon which advertises it as plug and play and formatted to fat32, plugged it in and it did nothing, didnt even show up in disk management, so thats going back.

Any advice from people who are using for PS3 would be greatly appreciated.

Plug it into a PC and try formatting it in FAT32 just google how to do this, Also you cant install games on an external hard drive on PS3 unless you are Jailbroken check out this post made by Asap detailed enough to help you out https://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=899207

Yeah cheers, Ive already jailbroken my PS3 and have games running well off an small usb drive, I just saw some vids on you tube of people with big collections of HDD and wanted to do the same, but the first drive I got was 4tb and as I know know that wont do it, tried partitioning part off to FAT32 which it did but PS3 still wont read it.

So then got one off amazon that was a 2tb and said it was formatted to FAT32 already but arrived today and plugged it into my PC and it wouldnt even recognise it (so much for the plug and play advert on it) so thats going back, so just wanted to know which drives people are using to save me going round in circles.
