Anyone know anything about PS2 Hard Drives?
Seen a couple for sale in other forums and interested in using a HDD.
Just wondering what kind of Hard drive it uses? same as computer hard drives?
Connection? how are they connected?
I have a spare 80gig Western Digital hard drive, thinking of putting it into use.
Anyone know ANYTHING about HDD for a ps2?
Cheers

i contacted sony ages ago, said that they were no longer availiable, there is no real need for them, unless you are a programmer, because no game in australia is supported by them so waste of time i thinks...

I've got one for my PS2 here is what you need.
1. A ps2 network adaptor,
2. HDAdvance or HDloader disc.
3. 40Gig+ HD any really I use 80Gig IBM Hitachi one.
Just plug the HD into the network adaptor slide it in the machine close it all up pop in the HDAdvance disc and you're set.
