many external harddriver are by default formated in FAT32
My WD Mybook came standard that way...aswell as the external one in our office..(brand escapes me right now)
I was able to hook mine in right outta the box straight to the ps3...of course after loading all my music and movies to it

the mybooks work great...I love it...and the fact that my particular 320gb was an older model that was clearenced at $40 instead of the near $200 price tag made it amazing
