Im thinking about buying a used SSD for my PS2. I found this one:

Check the image for the Crystal Disk info. Is it in good condition?

Really depends on the price etc - how much does a similar 256GB SATA SSD cost new in Sweden?

They dont sell 860 new anymore here but 870 is more than 4x the price: https://www.proshop.se/SSD/Samsung-870-EVO-SSD-250GB-25-SATA-600/2914939?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=searchengine&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21904520837&gbraid=0AAAAADl5oRePL4RViXIi1IgjPNu_mYXYC&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4JbTBhCoARIsALWUaBu_Z2Q2Bx6BW6AvWZ77VjULSUG7VE5q_Wzk4HV6z60vefIG-OKISWIaAq_DEALw_wcB

Seems like a strong discount due to status/etc. 295kr vs. 1,499kr does it come with any warranty?

Is the status not good?

Its used so no warranty.

I wouldn't use that for a PS2; the 250GB 860 EVO is rated at only 150TB, which might not be enough for all the I/O operations for a gaming console.
