Can you put a Fat32 thing in the external hard drive before you back it up?

Not sure what an FAT32 is, sorry. All I know is that its pre-formatted for the PS3 and that it backs up downloaded video, music, and photos. I think you you can back up saved game files but not game content. I hopes this helps.

If u mean can u save something else other than the back up for ur playstation on the Digistor?? I had the ps3 firmware and backup file on this hardrive when i did the firmware and hardrive upgrade for my ps4 so as long as the files have the right name i believe u can but i would advice not to have anything else to confuse your playstation system..but yes u can have something else..

How? I hooked up my portable hard drive and it did not work! Problem is, its NTSF and not FAT32 formatted. Tried to reformat, and no go there either.

Yes you can. However, it might not if you format the thumb drive to a different format. e.g. FAT32 versus NTFS or whatever?

No. You need to have the switch on during boot. Your computer bios needs to be able to see the drive. Its not like a external usb drive. pick the drive you want to backup to before you boot.

Yes, but it has to be formatted to exFAT if you want the files to be over 4gbs. (NTFS also for Windows)

It only needs to be done if you want to save files over 4 GB. There may be some cases where FAT32 is preferred, such as plugging this drive into the USB port of a stand alone DVD player for avi, mp3 files,etc. They may require FAT32 like a flash drive. To format to NTFS right click the external drive under My Computer. Then hit Format.

Yes. It is a USB 3.0. There aren't many things a "fat32" won't work on. Compatible with pc and Mac. Any version.

Yes, it comes from the factory formatted with FAT32 but you can reformat it with NTFS if desired or most any other system.

If you are backing up to an external drive, you will be fine. You can program the software to make scheduled backup to any drive but I do not know if you can change were the data resides unless you do that at installation of the software.

You can. My drive was formatted NTFS via usb and i connect to my Mac via Firewire 800 with no problems.

Hook up the external hard drive to your computer and when you open it inside, there should be the FAT32 program inside which you install to your computer. It should give you further directions to format the drive after you install the program to your computer. I bought it last year so that's the best I remember. You can also look it up online or in the manuel that came with the drive.

You can change the file system guy. Just format it to NTSF as it is Fat32 by default. NTSF can hold any file over 4GB while Fat32 is limited to 4GB and under.

Technically, YES, it can be formatted to FAT32, but with the filesize limitations, as well as the cluster size for the filesystem, I must beg the question of WHY format it to FAT32? If you want it to be read/write with Mac/PC, then format exFAT. If you want to install DOS/95/98/ME on it, why? Truly, your best option would be exFAT if NTFS is not suitable for your needs.

No, unfortunately not. An external drive is pretty cheap. I bought one when I bought the computer.

You can as long as where your present Hard drive is incaged. Me I found that an enclosed case (Metal box case) you cannot use this item because it sticks out to far. Hope this helps.

Well for one that's not true. I watch movies on my ps3 and my flash drive is NTFS. I assume you could do Fat32 but have not tried.

Yes, you can plug an external hard drive in to the MyCloud and have it do its own backups of data and configuration on a schedule. WD calls them safepoints.
