It is not magic, dont be mad you cant help yourself get your ext hd to work correctly.

many non seagate users have used this info to accomplish their goals.

to be clear i never said for you a mac and WD user to try these tools.

so as I said stop spreading misinformation to the members of ps3hax!!

just watch your mouth!!! no one is calling names here!!

you clearly say "2tb is to big" and it is not, this is the mis info you are spreading.

dont speak on what you know nothing of.

@Daveyshambles , If you read this whole thread I've been trying to explain/prove (+images) it can be done. I believe this would've negated your first post. It's not magic. xD

You need a power adapter w/ your enclosure, the USB on the PS3 will not provide enough power/amps. Your enclosure maybe your problem. This is what I have tested and works on PS3 for those whom may be interested. Seagate Backup Plus Model: STCA400100 4TB. In any case good luck gber911, dunno what else to tell ya.
peace, ..!!,
