Yeah, to the best of my knowledge, Preezy, any console using an external hard drive will format it in a way that is different to normal PC / Mac use. You wouldn't be able to use your drive for both console and computer storage at the same time.
In terms of ease-of-use, it's a piece of cake. Plug it in, a bit of formatting and then you're good to go. I've grown to love hard drive storage over discs :-).
