[QUOTE="mechagouki, post: 7064577, member: 143720"] I've browsed through this thread, and I find myself asking "why would you need a 2TB drive in a PS2?". I have a 500GB PATA drive in mine, it works perfectly, it's fast (well under 1 minute to the game list in OPL or HDLoader) and I can't imagine how I'd ever fill it with games actually worth having. To put this in perspective, I have an original XBOX with a 320GB drive in it, and I've spent years collecting all the good XBOX games, plus I have SNES, Genesis, NES, PC Engine emulators and MAME all with full romsets, and there is still space on that drive. In my mind, the cons of this procedure clearly outweigh the pros: SATA 2TB = hardware PS2 was not designed for, slow loading, software incompatabilities, redundant space you'll never fill with anything worthwhile and considerably more expense. PATA 500GB = plug and play hardware, decent load times, solid, tried and tested software support, enough room for every AAA through B- PS2 game and 500GB PATA drives are cheap! Please understand, I appreciate your work and documentation of this process, but I think people should consider their options before starting down this road. [/QUOTE]
