2tb plus now supported?

Browsing psx place and came across this.

https://github.com/TroyWarez/PS3-2TB-Patcher

Hope to see it implemented in the next Evilnat release! Also wondering if it increases the external limit from 2tb too? Presume not as it's gpt above 2tb.

Only question I have, most hdd's I've seen that are 2tb or more are 12.5mm or 15mm so won't fit in the hdd caddy (unless you go ssd, but given the price of them currently)

Is there a trick/mod to make larger drives fit?

Please note, if you try this it obviously involves flashing your nand/nor so I am not responsible if your console bursts into flames, or bricks!

Yeah I'm gonna have to doubt that, because 2years ago I got my 4tb for almost $300 each and I went with silicon power and kingspec

I have a 1.5tb in mine. I tried to put a 2tb but it wouldn't format. There are 2.5" hdds that are 2tb and up.

habían discos duros raros pero que yo sepa pillar no lo pilla ni a tiros osea que por más que lo pongas ni lo ves

Raro es que haya de más de 1 TB, o sea, no sé si eran 1.5 TB, no me acuerdo. Yo tengo un SSD Crucial de 1 TB, el mejor que he probado, y después tengo la que uso yo con CFW, un SSD chino de 1 TB Kingspec que tampoco me ha dado problemas. Al final la uso a duras penas; cuando sale algo como el Pro Evolution 2018 online, me animo y la pongo un rato, jeje.

I've got two 2tb externals holding my iso collection. Be nice to have it internal.

Again, gives people more options of a 4tb internal and externals. More storage for our game collections!

Ya cause BD discs are tiny and take up no space.

You don’t need to be a digital hoarder, 2tb is enough for one person using a PS3 in the big 2026 lol

My PS3 has a 1.5tb and I also use a 4tb external with it with videos I can't fit on the system. 2tb hasn't been enough since 2009
