"We have sent a sample out for consolenewz to do a review.

but here is a partial view:
Slapped in a Maxtor 60GB, booted the machine, you can tell the ps2 its seeking the HD, then got to the main menu (swirling electro-balls).

opened the tray and put in the HDLOADER disc and close the tray. it booted it.
Asked me to format, took around 3 mins. done.
Legal screen appeared, (YES or NO). done..
insert a original game, it checked it and installed it. (15 mins for 2GB).
opened the tray took out my original game. and booted it from the HDLOADER menu.

now you ask how about your backups of your original games... well, it does work as well if you have a modified psx2.

But tomorrow there should be an official consolenewz review up. Remember it might not work with all games, but when it works, it works nice... too nice!"

And I have a nice 40GB Maxtor sitting in my garage collecting dust anyway so...

Here a listing of compatible drives also and apparantly it works with a 300GB Maxtor!!! Like anyone actually has one. What's that thing cost...like $500??? I could save my son's entire classroom to that thing.

I have two Max80's and I paid around $60 for each brand new. One of them I was even able to get a $20 gift card for at Best Buy cause they were out of stock on the Western Digital.

Also if you don't wanna f--k with EBay and bidding you can check here, it's a PC place I've been using a lot lately. REALLY good prices and service and they have Max120 7200rpm for less than $80. How can you beat that?
