With what seems to be an ever more regular occurance on PS3 games using a chunk of your Hard-drive for storage and GT5P using a reported 5Gig this made me decide to go with an external drive and use my internal 60GB only for games.

New 40GB owners are soon going to run into storage problems with games and demos alone if this continues....

Ive orderd one of the following to use with a IBM 2.5" 250GB

All comes to approx £90 with shipping but this is a portable drive enclosure which also runs from batteries if required. Kinda neat an easily moved to other locations. Anyone got one?

Is this storage issue becoming a more common experience for you guys and for those of you that have already replaced your HDD can you arrange your files of music/videos in any better way on a seperate drive as Sonys folder options on the internal are rather imited.

On a external drive all your folders will appear like they do on your PC. For example, if you copy your music to the PS3 (because there simply is no 'sort by filename' option) you end up with files/folders all over the place, this doesn't happen with a USB drive, thank god.

So its possible to lets say have genre and personal file sorting?

Audio = Pop / Rock / Dance / Soundtrack / Podcast / 5.1

Video = HDTV / DVD / Divx

Please say yes....

I hate PS3 endless scrolling and no folder creation/sorting
 
Thanks guys

Though i suppose album art isnt possible is it?
Funny videos allow video sample thumbnails created ( i assume this is still possible on a portable drive too?)
