The drive clearly has to be set as MBR - otherwise, the cluster/primary/active options aren't available. However, when set to MBR, it only allows me to use 2tb MAX, and the remainder is just ghost!
GPT allows for full use of space, but the PS3 won't read a drive unless it's a single, MBR partition. What the freak is with these newer HDD's? I formatted a 4tb WD my book back in like 2012 - 2013 just fine in fat32.

However the partition can be at max size of 3.99 tb. With fat32 which gives you 4086gb of space which is more than a 4tb hard drive.
I previously tried this model Seagate Backup Plus 5TB Desktop External Hard Drive with 200GB of Cloud Storage & Mobile Device Backup USB 3.0 (STDT5000100) and got nothing but 2tb limit messages so watch what you buy. Before that I had this (OLD MODEL) Seagate Expansion 4TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STBV4000100) and was able to partition the whole drive to a single partition and it has worked perfectly for over a year now!
