I'm currently backing up my external drive, I'll let you guys know how it's going for me to :)
140GB...might be a while.

Did you format it first?

Yup it was harder then I thought, at first I did it with windows and it formatted to exfat, then I realized exfat wasn't going to work so I went looking for a free program to convert 1 TB, took a while but I eventually did.

Also I have game files saved on the PS3 thats about 4.5 GB+ but I read that FAT32 wont save files over 4GB? that right?

lol just looked at the PS3 says 10 hours remaining....wow

I don't know about those limits. I just knew that you had to do something special to get extended fat size of 32 gigs and I didn't want to download anything on my pc so I used my brother's mac instead because I guess they hve the program already on it out of the box to do all these fanciy conversions. Yep, it will take a while. Be sure to check on it periodically. Mine shut off prematurely because I had a corrupted file.
