http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/340x_spacedock.jpgAdding a USB hard drive to your PS3 or Xbox 360 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/xbox360/) isn't as simple as plugging it in (and on the 360 especially, it's pretty much a hack). But Datel's new Space Docks make the process simple.
Their Space Dock (http://gizmodo.com/tag/spacedock/), available in PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, accepts 2.5" or 3.5" SATA HDDs (up to 1TB) just like cartridges before what we can only assume is an automatic formatting and file install process that allows stock drives to be instantly compatible.
Once installed, the drive mounts in your system to load saved games, play movies, etc, plus you can always plug the drive back into your PC to transfer more files since the formatting structure is really just FAT32.
$40, available soon and kind of neat. (Datel is free to use that catchy sales pitch, if they'd like.) [Datel (http://www.datel.co.uk/trade/product.aspx?id=71&name=Space_Dock_-_HDD_Docking_Station) via Maxconsole (http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=38638)]
