lol I misundestood your comment... yeah NTFS support for external devices is a nice add.
The PS3 filesystem (based on the hacker community) is a custom FAT32 with encryption support (in fact I think the only custom part is the encryption).
Why custom? Most encryption apps do the encrypt over a file into the filesystem... so you have the FAT32, can read the name and the folder but can't read the content of the file withou decrypt... so you are only encrypted the content of file over the FAT32 filesystem.
PS3 uses the FAT32 encrypted already... so even the index tables is already encrypted... you can't read anything (folder, filename, filesize, etc) without decrypt.
So you don't use a default FAT32 driver and write the content of file encrypted... you need a customized FAT32 driver to write and read using the encryption keys.
The Hackers called this custom filesystem "encrypted FAT32"... it uses XTS-AES-128 encryption.

PS. If you decrypt all the HDD it works like a FAT32 system
