As the title says. It appears as Disk 1 at the bottom (http://imageshack.com/a/img837/4881/2sia.png), and it says it's unallocated so I should be able to just partition it from the area above, but it doesn't appear there and it won't let me partition it from there, from what I can see.
External SSD not appearing in Disk Management.

Here is a quick solution:
open cmd as administrator
enter "diskpart"
after it loads, enter "list disk"
look for your SSD in the list it gives, you can tell by the size of it. Look at what disk number it is (should be 1)
enter "sel dis 1"
enter "clean"
From here you should be able to use disk management to format it. If you can't, you can continue from after clean and:
enter "create partition primary"
enter "format quick fs=ntfs label="Whatever you want" "
open cmd as administrator
enter "diskpart"
after it loads, enter "list disk"

I'm pretty sure the PS3 requires you format a drive each time you put it into the unit. I could be wrong, but that is the last thing I heard.
