Whats speed HDD

[MoBiUs]

should i put in a 40gb 72000 2mb western digitally HDD or a western digitally 40gb 5400 HDD.

i heard that i should put in a 5400 as the offically ps2 hdd is 5200

5200 You sure? I never heard that. I guess I could just look at it. I'm gonna just sit and go through a bunch of hard drives I guess to see what works and what doesn't. Being the IT manager, I have a few at my disposal.

Gotta finish my case mod though :p

I have a 40GB IBM 7200RPM sitting in my PS2 at the moment. Now I just have to order the HDDLoader.

how did u do that ps2s dont have ide connections

[lufcfan]

The Network Adaptor does. Just slide the IDE drive onto the adaptor and the adaptor into the expansion slot of the PS2.

LOL! No not at all, it just's a little box which is about 2-3CM thick on the back like this:

so with a hdd loader u could use the pressed hdd loader to load onto the hdd and then install games on the hdd that would be cool so u could play backups w/o a mod chip if the hdd is a self boot disk cause i kinda dout that the ps2 checks for protactions on the installed games

I suppose it's possible. As far as I know, it is self-boot using the same methods as the AR discs.
