## Description

Product Description The Playstation 2 SATA to Expansion Port Bay Adaptor was made by Kaico and was designed so you could use a modern SATA 3.5 inch HDD or 2.5” Hard drive with your Sony Play Station 2 ‘Phat’ console and launch game back-ups as well as homebrew directly without the need for slower methods such as through the PS2 USB ports. This Modern and Attractive Playstation 2 PS2 SATA HDD converter offers a simple 'plug and play' solution. Our high-quality PS2 Hard Drive converter adapter will provide you with a much better gaming experience than its predecessor the PS2 IDE HDD Network Adaptor. Our Kaico Adapter takes advantage of the faster SATA speeds making for much more enjoyable gameplay. Compatible with European, Japanese, and North American region Playstation’s. Please Note: This Playstation 2 SATA Hard Drive converter adaptor is designed to be a simple and effective upgrade from the standard IDE network adaptor. The majority of Playstation 2s made were the Phat models which came with an expansion bay port in the back. Ensure your PS2 has this before purchasing as without it, this product will not work. Unlock Your Playstation 2's Full Potential To unlock the full potential of your Playstation PS2 system we recommend either installing Free McBoot Hard drive edition before anything else (such as copying game ISO’s across) or alternatively purchasing our Free McBoot PS2 Playstation Memory card. Kaico PS2 SATA Hard-Drive Converter Kit for ‘Phat’ Playstation 2 Basics The PS2 HDD converter is compatible with ALL ‘Phat’ Playstation 2 consoles from all regions. ■ Allows you to boot your PS2 console into CFW such as McBoot ■ No Need for messy and slow USB transfer speeds ■ Allows you to play backups of games directly from HDD (Quicker speeds than the original discs) ■ Very easy installation process with full colour manual ■ Access additional homebrew such as Codebreakers, OPL and More Kaico Edition Kaico created a simple 'plug and play' solution to provide users easy access to higher speed gaming on the PS2 system. Better Overall Gameplay The Kaico version of the Playstation 2 PS2 HDD Link adapter is designed to circumvent the need to play games via USB stick. This method is flawed due to the low read speeds of the PS2 USB ports. Quicker Loading Times This PS2 HDD allows faster read speeds which in turn leads to MUCH slower load times. All offered in a beautiful and cost-effective solution. Multi-regional PS2 Support Supports all Playstation 2 Consoles from all Regions providing you are playing a ‘Phat’ Model. This will NOT work on the Slimline models.

Review: One of the Best Options to Choose for PS2! - If you are here looking to buy this product you are here for one of two reasons; You want a network adapter for your PS2 to play online, or You want it to use a HDD and play your games from it, with a little magic called Free MCBoot/Free HDBoot. To start, this product does not actually have a functioning network port, it's just for show. This product is used to connect a SATA HDD to your PS2 to allow you to play your games from the HDD, which saves the PS2s laser, speeds up load times and keep the console quieter assuming your PS2 has a quiet fan. This product has worked perfectly without any faults. It lets me play my games with faster load times so as far as i'm concerned this Product does it's Job perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to play PS2 games, period.
Review: Fantastic just the job for OPL - This is great value i had an old 1tb hdd kicking around and i used this adapter to install it in my PlayStation 2 Phat. and it just worked fine the first time i was expecting some difficulty's. But its almost plug and play just follow the youtube videos to learn how to install the software or just use freemcboot memory card to load the games. i recomend this over the original ps2 network one because its sata instead of ide. that's a ton better in this day and age

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this and a free mcboot memory card all i need? just put games on any sata hdd, plug in, and good to go?**
A: Yes. Although I personally like second-hand 2.5inch SATA drives that are smaller and lighter than the 3.5inch versions. They tend to resale slightly higher, but as they are low powered, they only have a SATA connector on it and no power source. Therefore, using one of our USB > SATA connector adapters, you can connect your SATA hard-drive to a PC without a separate power source.  They are therefore a simple plug and play device. All 3.5inch drives tend to come from desktop PC's and require a separate 4-pin molex connector to power them. Therefore when you connect it to your PC to load it with PS2 games, you need a power connector to power it. Therefore most people will use a bulky docking station which tend to be more expensive. Any SATA hard-drive around 250GB - 500GB is best. 

Please watch this video on how to prepare your hard-drive for usage on one of these adapters with the PC software 'WinHIIP'.

Please note: We dont provide tech support as there are too many difference combinations and possibilities with these. But the above information should certainly point you in the right direction.

Always choose Kaico for the best quality products!

**Q: Hi i have an seagate/hgst 2.5” hard drive would this work with the adapter?**
A: Yes it would providing it is a SATA hard-drive. 

You need to use WinHIIP on your PC to successfully format and setup your hard-drive for PS2 usage.

I would therefore recommend this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKzuEJrIzBk&t=51s

As you have a 2.5inch drive, they dont require a separate power source and are therefore 'plug and play'. 

This means you can use one of our USB to SATA adapters that we sell and connect your 2.5inch hard-drive to your PC in preparation for WinHIIP game loading.

2.5inch drives also run a little less hot than 3.5inch drives as they use less energy

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

Kaico

**Q: Is this able to power a 3.5 inch hard drive that requires external power?**
A: Yes it is, so you dont need to worry about additional power sources!. I like the look and feel of 3.5 inch drives and the sit nicely inside the adaptor and in turn inside the playstation2. They are also cheaper to buy per GB than a 2.5inch drive and there is a bigger range. However, I prefer 2.5inch drives as they dont need a separate power source. Therefore you can purchase a USB > Sata adaptor (I sell them on Amazon so please view my items) and just plug it into your pc/laptop and load it with games without the hassle of separate power sources. With the 3.5inch drive, you need to purchase a docking station or cable with a 4pin power connector, to be able to power these drives. For this reason, and this reason alone, a 2.5inch drive is a much better solution for quickly loading ps2 games! Obviously if you have a docking station and are comfortable with this, then go with a 3.5inch drive! Thank you

**Q: Does this network adapter come with a hard drive or without?**
A: This is only the adapter. It does NOT come with a hard-drive. You have a choice of adding 2.5inch or 3.5inch SATA hard-drives from a small GB to a maximum of 1TB. It is also possible for some drives to work at 2TB but it requires some work to enable drives of this size.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An incredible upgrade for your PS2 Fat model
*by _***_ on 4 November 2025*

Great product and super easy to use, it was as simple as remove it from the box, put the hard disk and insert it on the PS2, there's also a small manual with the instructions to how to format the hard drive and use it in general, but I have personally used a YouTube video for that.
