I never knew that these actually existed! I'd heard that the original launch PS2's in Japan featured a PCMIA slot but I never knew that they had actually released an official external HDD for it!

$100 for a 40 GB hard drive? Ew.

Oh come on.

It's not like you'll fill a 40gb PS2 HDD the legit way.

Anyhow I did some research on it and went to this site:

And I've found that this is actually the HDD from a PS2 DEV-Kit! I don't know who the guy that owns the site is but he is a very lucky guy.

QFT. I never understood what the logic was behind Sony's PS2 Hard Drives. $100 for an 80GB HD. Yes please!

Wow, the dude has some amazing rare stuff. I would give my firstborn for half of that. O.o

That HDD looks pretty legit, I was looking it up since I noticede the Model number starts with DTL instead of SCPH, which is what most PlayStation products' model numbers start with, turns out DTL-10000 is actually the TOOL Dev kit. So that makes sense.

It's cool but what possible use does it have? Can you save to it like a giant memory card?

If it's like the internal PS2 hard drive, you'll have to save to the memory card, then transfer the data to the Hard Drive.

Hold on, guys. Why is there so much enthusiasm for this? Is it some collector obsession thing? Nowadays $100 will get you a 1 terabyte hard drive, and PS2 memory cards are cheap. Is there some PS2 game out there I don't know about that takes up oodles of storage space for save files?

1. It's a PS2 DEV-KIT HDD.

2. You can actually install few legit games to the HDD and it makes a to of difference.
