FAQs

Does this work with a PS2 Slim?
No—only with the original “fat” PS2 models.

Do I need the Network Adapter?
Yes. The HDD connects through the PS2 Network Adapter (or a compatible replacement). Choose our bundle if you don’t have one.

Can I use a SATA hard drive?
Yes, with a PATA-to-SATA adapter that fits the PS2 Network Adapter. Check clearances before purchase.

How big can the drive be?
Most users install 80–500GB IDE drives. Larger capacities may work with specific software setups; results can vary.

Will this let me play games from the HDD?
It enables HDD-ready titles and supported homebrew. Always use original discs and follow local laws.
