importwarrior Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) If you want to back up all the data from your Ps3 to an external WD hard drive and get the errorConnect starage media device to save destination. The problem is not the drive, the newer external hard drives areUSB 2 / 3. the ps3 cant detect those type of drives in some casesso the error above pops up. The Easy fix, besides making sure the drive is fat32 formatedeven if that is necessary. The fix is to get an old USB 2.0 hub not anything related to USB 3.0will not work. plug in the USB 2.0 hub n to the USB Ps3 front port.Then plug the drive in to the USB 2.0 hub and thats it. i used a 1 TB Western Digital External drive to back up my Ps3 hope this helps some one out.
