=== maximum size external drive ===
=== maximum size external drive ===
Maximum size is 2TB.
PS3 can only read drives using MBR (Master Boot Record) partition table.
MBR maximum drive size is 2TB (with up to 4 partitions).
PS3 cannot read drives using GPT (GUID Partition Table).
GPT has maximum drive size around 256TB, although in practice it may get tricky beyond 15 TB.

== Tests increasing the max HDD capacity supported by the firmware ==
Successful 2Tb installation confirmed personally. (warning: "restore filesystem" a.k.a. "filesystem check" was not tested. Without this function the hdd will cummulate filesystem errors up to a point where the PS3 will welcome you with a warning message telling "the hdd needs to be formatted" and you will lose all the contents of it)
*HDD was Toshiba MQ01ABB200 and PS3 was CECHK04
*Flashing to 4.46 OFW and reducing 2Tb hard drive to 3633537126 sectors via "hiding" rest via HPA on PC (formatted first to FAT format on MAC a whole device and GPT instead MBR) with HDAT2 so PS3 sees its as 1732.6GB Hard Drive and did succeed formatting.
*After 4.46 you can upgrade to latest 4.82 Firmware back and continue using it. 4.82 firmware says after HPA sector hiding that it is "unsupported" but 4.46 doesn't and can format it.
Pictures of some of this of my personal confession and proof:
[https://twitter.com/XantheFIN/status/1022873742538682368]
Original info i used to confirm:
[http://www.psx-place.com/threads/ps3-1-75-tb-internal-hdd-upgrade-formatting-utility.11989/#post-100471]
Note from another tester :
While the above seems to work, using 4.46 to allow 1.75tb leads to errors after saving a few games : the console stalls, then takes forever to recover (if it recovers). I tried reducing to 1.5Tb, and none of the errors show up.
What's misleading is that 1.5Tb is in fact recognized by 4.82+, even with HPA.
I think the safe way to get the max capacity is to use HPA, but stick to something between 1.5Tb and 1.75Tb and make sure it's recognized by 4.82+. It means downgrading to 4.46 is not necessary (and mostly misleading).

Patch to increase acceptable HDD capacity for error "''The installed hard disk is not supported. You must install a hard disk that is compatible with this system''." Without patch recovery will throw this error when hdd capacity is above 1,649,267,441,664 bytes. With patch error will be shown for hdd above 2,130,303,778,816 bytes. 1,75TB limited drives should be accepted again. Untested on real hardware, use with caution (hw flasher required)! Sorry for short hex pattern, but it should be ok for manual patch (4.75 in this case).
*Search for:
38 00 01 80
Replace to:
38 00 01 F0
For full 2TB replace to (There are likely other factors which will fail):
38 00 02 01
