xist said:The reason i'd always advise against that size drive you want is because unless you're modding your console to add extra ventilation, the HDD is going to heat up big time in the tiny little enclosure within your PS2.
xist said:Exactly...you're not comparing like with like as SATA drives are much newer, and it also depends on drive speed (5400 vs 7200)...As someone who's had a HDD in a PS2 since 2005 i'd advise against a 400gb mostly because it's pointlessly large.
Gagarin said:Ok. So I got Maxtor 250 GB Works great!. However I can not install in HDLoader some of the games (doesn't recognize the disc).
But when I'm using WinHiip it supports only 123 GB (1.7.6). So what to do to add ISOS into that big HDD?
As I said, installing in HDL is off the table. Any other ways?
Gagarin said:Hdd is fast but full of games is really slow (?) is there any way to defragment it, sort it to spped it up a little? I mean, right now I have about 70 games and loading of HDL taks almost a minute.
