MAX Drive is a USB device that fits into your PS2's USB port. Its massive 16MB capacity can store or transfer game saves from your standard memory cards for later use. It's the ideal archiving solution. It can hold double the amount of saves possible with a standard PS2 card. Just the thing if you're running out of space - back up your fave saves to MAX Drive and then transfer them to your PC using our dedicated MAX Drive software, which isn't available with any other flash drive.
Storing your saves on your computer's hard drive gives you near-limitless space to archive game saves you're not currently using, but don't want to delete. It also helps protect your game saves against memory card failure, which is the most frustrating thing that can happen to any gamer.

With your saves on your PC's hard drive, you can email them to your friends using your PC's internet connection. Imagine having all that flexibility at your fingertips! Best of all, you can also download the latest game saves with in-built cheats from Datel's CodeJunkies server, and even update your Action Replay MAX code list via a PC instead of through a PS2 broadband connection!
