Internal Hard Drives

At ModBoys Customs, we offer a variety of internal hard drive configurations for our modded PlayStation 2 consoles, tailored to accommodate different regional game libraries and preferences. Below is a detailed overview of our available options. If you'd like to see every PS2 hard drive games list click HERE.

While larger hard drives offer the advantage of a more extensive game library, it’s important to note that they may result in longer loading times for Open PS2 Loader (OPL), as well as delays in game selection and cover art loading. This is due to the increased data volume that the system needs to process. However, advancements in OPL have significantly improved compatibility and performance with larger drives. Notably, recent updates have enabled the use of exFAT-formatted drives, supporting capacities up to 16TB and beyond, thereby enhancing the gaming experience on PS2 consoles. We recommend considering your gaming habits and preferences when selecting a hard drive configuration to balance storage capacity with system performance.

1. USA/Europe Games Hard Drives:

500GB HDD: Ideal for players seeking a curated selection of popular titles from the USA and Europe regions.

2TB HDD: Suitable for enthusiasts looking to explore a broader range of games, offering an extensive collection from these regions.

6TB HDD: Comprehensive storage solution designed to accommodate the complete USA and Europe PS2 game libraries, ensuring access to every title available in these regions.

2. Japan Games Hard Drives:

500GB HDD: Perfect for those interested in experiencing select popular Japanese titles including English translated versions of games.

2TB HDD: Provides a wider array of Japanese games, catering to players seeking a more diverse gaming experience.

4TB HDD: Offers the full spectrum of Japanese PS2 games, granting access to the entire library from this region.


3. Combined USA/Europe + Japan Game Hard Drives:

2TB HDD: Features a curated selection of top games from all regions, ideal for players interested in popular titles across the board.

4TB HDD: Expands the collection to include a more extensive range of games from all regions, providing a richer gaming experience.

10TB HDD: The ultimate storage option, encompassing the entire PS2 library from both USA/Europe and Japan regions, ensuring no title is left out.


4. Separate USA/Europe + Japan Game Hard Drives:

For those who prefer dedicated drives for each region, we offer separate hard drive setups. While this does help with game organization, it is mostly for speed increases over the combined hard drive option. Customers can mix and match these drives to create a combination that best suits their gaming preferences. Each console includes detailed instructions on how to swap between hard drives, ensuring a seamless gaming experience.

USA/Europe HDD Options: 500GB, 2TB, or 6TB
