you will need a regular pc hard drive, maxtor are the best

a network adapter to connect the hdd to the ps2, and also an os for the hdd, either hd advance or hd loader, the latter is free

but if you need it to be pressed discs, because you dont have a mod then get hd advance

Hi

I actually have my PS2 with an 80 GB H.D.D and i am actually using the HD Advance version 2.0, it is a very clever piece of kit, and fool proof, i believe i paid around £26.00 including V.A.T (value added tax) and delivery to my address, but it was here rather quickly and it is great, not only am i keeping my original game Disc's in pristine condition but, it is so much quicker loading the games without having to keep opening and closing the PS" everytime you want to change a Game ??
Hope This helps any queries please ask
:-D
