Yes you can, however the external need to be formated to the PS3 and not a PC. The best way is to get a brand-new ext. HDD and plug it into the PS3, I believe it will format it by itself and everything will work. I don't know if you will be able to play game that have game files saved on the ext. You may need to copy them back to the PS3, Its best just to keep an ext as a source for movies, songs, trailers and as a backup of game files.

you would be asked to format the no longer complication-free force upon insertion into the different device. you are able to information pass which will wipe the receiving structures no longer complication-free force, besides the undeniable fact that the sending no longer complication-free drives contents would be preserved on the two. there is yet another decision that's extremely arduous, you are able to receive PS3 HDD Studio and use SATA cables to backup the no longer complication-free force contents on your laptop no longer complication-free force, in case you are trying this for the two you are able to then restore the generated HDD photos to the different no longer complication-free drives and you have the two units of information intact yet on the different no longer complication-free force :)

Yes, you can. But internal HDD would be better. It's really easy exchanging your hard drive.
