so since ata drives are hard to find for xbox and ps2

anyone think these will work in the xbox1/ps2 so we can use sata hard drives and not worry about ATAs anymore

They work in xboxes for sure (i'm using it), but I am not sure if you'll be able to close the back of the ps2 with that extra cm of space taken up.

PATA hard drives aren't that hard to find these days.

id rather just slap in a brand new sata than worry if that pata will be worth installing >_>

That's true if you don't mind a hard drive under 80GB. Large & cheap IDE drives are harder to find though.

You might be able to fit a laptop sata drive into a PS2 or Xbox with that adapter, but just go on Newegg and buy a new PATA one for now while they're still available.

sata in ps2 sounds like a plan, except that the converter doesn't connect directly to the PS2's IDE network adaptor.

How big of a drive are you looking to put in the ps2? I mean you can get 250gb Maxtor drive (with correct spacing for the network adaptor) for $30 used/$50 new.

Even recertified 320GB ones are only $40 on Newegg!
