How to Make an HDD for the PS2

The Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) is a home video game console that was released in 2001 as the successor of the PlayStation 1. The PlayStation 2 was one of the first consoles to utilize an internal hard disc drive (HDD) bay where the consumer could install the hard drive of their choice. After installing the hard drive, game saves, music and videos can be saved to it.
