A Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) needs a drive to store the saved game, video and audio files. Normally this is done via a Memory Stick Duo card. It is possible to store the data on a dedicated external hard drive. A PC can be used as a bridge between the two devices or as the drive itself. The PSP is not opened during this process, meaning it stays under warranty, and the hard drives can store a lot more data than the Memory Stick Duo cards.
