You need to make a partition and it must be less than 32 GB

Here to help.
That internal drive should work. Put it in the PS3 and it will detect it and format it. Your external drive needs to be formated FAT32 or the PS3 will not recognize it. There is not a 32gb limit to FAT32. The limit of FAT32 is 8tb. The problem is Windows can not make a partition larger than 32gb so you will have to use a third party program to do it. I have 400gb external Seagate drive connected to my PS3 and it can see all my music. All 110gb of it. I used Seagate tools to format my external drive. Hope this helps.
