Mviioe PS2 Sata Interface Adapter for Sony PS2 HDD Hard Disk Connector Plug Adapter Support up to 2TB SATA HDD (2.5"/3.5")

No issues with this item. This made me want to go buy the official one with the ethernet connection and sata adapter cable, but unless youre going to be trying to transfer small things like themes, cheats, and art (which can all be done with usb as well) this is the item for you. Use a hdd dock to transfer games instead of ethernet (thats god awfully slow)

Got this after watching a tutorial on how to play games using .Iso files on hard disc drives intead of physical discs, most of which i had no chance of of stumbling across at a garage sale or local trade store; they are just that rare, or to make a glitching scratched disc play smoothly via .Iso file. I can say that while the entire process is tedious to learn and time consuming, this adapter piece gets the job done. Im using a 2.5 Seagate hdd that i got to work with a Fat PS2 and can say with confidence that the adapter even survived a freak beverage spill incident. 10/10 would buy again for another Fat PS2 if needed. Works with 2.5 and would most likely work with 3.5 size hard drives as well. Has 2 screws to secure the adapter to the Fat PS2. Would recommend a piece of cardboard or anytging to keep the hard drive level and from bending the adapter connections, not necessary but just as an assurance for the adapter's long-term lifespan. Straight plug and play in regards to the adapter. Only stipulation is that it doesn't have a network connection in the adapter. Not a downside for me as I'll be offline anyway but most 3rd party adapters don't have it so it's not a loss at all. If a network adapter is necessary, i heard that officially licensed Sony adapters may be the only way of acquiring them, hopefully im wrong.

works as its supposed to 👍 plugs into HDD and into ps2

Works as advertised. However with the latest options available in the modding community, I can't recommend getting this. Having original network functionality is a must if you want to have all of the fun.

Quality was great. Did what i needed it to
