Not to mention, you also need a network adapter for PS2 in order to install the thing. It screw's right to it and is what help hold it in place, if I remember correctly.

I use mine mostly for save files, and played FFXI a shit ton on my PS2. But ya, prolly not worth much now a days since little to know games or hardware makes use of it.

You're correct.  I completely forgot about that.

I still have my original FFXI box and even though it is mostly dust covered, I use the HDD in order to save money on memory cards....  I have enough saves to fill like 8 or 9 cards, but I just rotate what is used most from the drive so I only actually own 2....

Ya I have my FFXI box and everything and I started doing the same thing w/ my saves. Hell I even found an old save file for NFS: Underground on my HDD that I thought vanished. Kinda relieved too I had some really cool cars on that file.

I've done this a couple times, but recently I have been considering moving everything to my backwards compatible PS3 and retiring the drive into its box to collect dust and acquire "value" over time....
