Get a Seagate or Maxtor they are the best quality and work best with the Playstation 2.

Fill out the reliability survey on storagereview.com to access their reliability stats. It looks like Seagate is at the top of the heap nowadays, but you should probably also read the reviews to make sure you get a model that doesn't run hot since PS2 doesn't exactly have great cooling.

Whatever you do, for you own sake please avoid Western Digital,
3 different size WD disks crashed in my company last year;
now we use Seagate.

I use Maxtor drives in all my PC's and in my PS2 and never had a problem with them.

me too Maxtor is for me Nr.1 at this time and i have no trouble with Maxtor.

With Seagate i have 3 Broken hdd´s the last 3-5 years i will buy Seagate no more

WD are bad with PS2 because you have to jack up the network adapter just to make it fit!
