People don’t understand what the WD security software is and just keep blurting out stuff about deleting some hidden partition, files etc. Sony has a track record for proprietary stuff in all their hardware. But that has nothing to do with WD per se. maybe ps3 is using some proprietary port which somehow works with elements but not with ultra. Happy with the new drive now anyway, it does what I want it to!Īgain, if the drive works in other places, there’s no reason to suspect anything is wrong, is there? If it doesn’t work in other places, then you have something to complain about. Though there didn’t appear to be anything else on the drive.
#How to use usb device on ps3 how to
However they didn’t elaborate how to do so, or how to know if it was needed, just that they had done it and previously non-connecting drives had worked.
I did see one post elsewhere in which the poster had made referenced to hidden security files on a drive which needed to be removed seperately from the formatting to get a WD drive to connect to a PS3. I’m leaning more toward there being some reason that comes from the drive, more than the PS3. It seems odd to me that an Elements would work and the Ultra wouldn’t, when they are both USB3.0 and 1TB in size. This may just be because they are perhaps the most commonly used and not especially because of an inherent problem with the drives but WD did seem to be the make a referenced in a majority of problems.Ī previous poster was also unable to get an Ultra drive to connect. I did previously look for a solution to the problem on gaming forums, and many other people seemed to be having trouble with WD drives. It seems to be as long as the drive is set to FAT32 a PS3 should detect it. The new drive works perfectly, as have previous drives.
