PS2 SSD and Fan Upgrade in 2022 | The Easiest ULTIMATE and SILENT PS2 Build

If you have an original model PS2 with a broken DVD drive or just want a way to play your entire library straight from the console itself, then adding a hard drive to the PS2 is a no brainer. But what are the advantages of using an SSD? Also, the stock fan on the PS2 is quite loud so I decided to quiet things down with a fan upgrade kit. WIth the combination of an SSD and a noctua fan this may be the quietest PS2 in existence!
