could you save game data on a flash drive or a external hard drive on a PS3?

Yes but the flash drive or external hard drive has to be formatted to FAT32.

You can't save games directly onto a flashdrive or portable HDD, but you can copy the data to them from the XMB savedata list.

With a portable HDD make sure the file system is recognised by the ps3 (I think its FAT32) others won't be read by the ps3 and won't even show up on the XMB.
