Excellent review!!!!

I was wondering if you could tell us a little about possible heating problems.

I should think that any PS2 CD or DVD will run - if it's PS2 software then it'll pass verification etc... In fact, I have a CD-RW, I'll try it for you if you like.

As for the heating problems, only the older 8MB cache systems should have a problem. Newer drives are fine, and shouldn't cause a problem. The 8MB Cache Barracuda SATA Drive I have in my PC is really cool, and generates barely any heat. My PS2 runs absolutely no hotter than usual, it's very cool even after prolonged periods of play using the HDD, so I hope this helps. I'll try the Media Player on my CD-RW Disc and let you know the outcome of that anyway. I'll be back...

No at the moment I have a 40GB IBM drive in there. I was using my PC drive as an example as to how cool an 8MB Cache HDD can run nowadays. Hope that cleared any confusion up. Seagate drives work well with PS2 though. I am currently using this HDD until I can get my new 120GB Maxtor DiamondMax 9

Ok, Ive just installed my New Seagate Barracuda 120gig hdd and tested out my HDLoader. For my test I used Drakengaurd it loaded up perfectly. It also played perfectly and all the loading sequences were 1 second or less.

I decided on a Seagate because they are the quietest drives out there. As for heating, that is not an issue. I really didnt feel anything more than warm on my ps2 case (barely that even).


All in all Im really liking this HDLoader thing.


I would also like to thank again www.consolesource.com for the HDLoader for testing. My order from Canada only took 4 days. It was shipped on Monday and I recieved it on Thursday using Priority mail.
