Advanced Formatting, works with PS3 80GB?

**davyvfr** · 10-31-2012,01:27 AM

Hello,

I am planning to buy a hard drive for my PS3, and after doing countless hours of research I have found out Advanced Formatting Technology on hard drives is not compatible with PS3 "fat". I have the 80GB model (2USB's). A user on Amazon stated it didn't work with their ps3 while users on Newegg and others on Amazon said it worked fine. Should I be concerned? (I just ordered a 500GB Western Digital BPVT)

So, you are saying Advanced Format drives will work just fine?
