Can PS3 read NTFS?
Nowadays, Play Station 3 and Xbox 360 have thousands of users. Compared with both of them, you can hardly find which one is better. Each has its own highlight. However, it is interesting that you could get one thing in common easily that is neither XBOX 360 nor PS3 support NTFS file system, both of them cannot read NTFS file system. As we know the file system is default as NTFS, and the NTFS is much better than FAT32 without doubt. What cause the two giants choose FAT3 but not the NTFS?
Why Xbox 360 and PS3 cannot read NTFS
Let's make a simple parser. Although NTFS is better than FAT32 on storage and security, with regard to data reading, FAT32 is better. On the other hand, FAT32 can't support the data which is larger than 4GB; it is well known that a game or a video of XBOX 360 or PS3 is at least 6GB, perhaps through this way it seems to avoid some pirate by external drive. Maybe for these reasons, Xbox 360 and PS3 can't support NTFS file system. Although we can't make PS3 support NTFS by ourselves, luckily we can make the conversion from NTFS to FAT32 become true, so "how to convert NTFS to FAT32" also become a hot topic among the video game players.
