Multi use Hard Drive required

Hi everyone,

Not sure this is the right section for this but I'll go ahead anyway. Please move if I have been a noob.


I am planning on adding a stand alone hard drive to my existing set up, it would be connected to the following pieces:

60GB PS3

20GB XBOX360

20GB Sky HD

I'd like a hard drive that I can leave permantly to all three, although I've no idea how to remove media from the Sky HD drive.

I'm assuming I can connect the PS3 and 360 via USB with no problems, and then access material easily providing it is stored in the correct format.

I already use Windows media centre but find it very and crashes almost every time, so I'd like the use of a hard drive (with a decent memory, 200GB + if possible) withour having to take apart my existing pieces.

If this possible please?

And if so, what do I buy & where please?


Many thanks in advance.

Re: Multi use Hard Drive required

I should probably add:

I don not have a PC, but do use a lap-top with a decent sized memory. But I have learnt the hard that and no longer keep anything valuable on a computer.

Everything I have is keep on USB sticks, about 6 4/8GBs at a time.

I also do not have a DVD Recorder. Although it would have been useful to keep the Star Wars Trilogy in HD, I so far haven't felt the need for one.

not sure if this effects things.
