==== A/A+ chassis drive block ====
''SCPH-10000 japanese launch consoles, SCPH-15000 consoles, some SCPH-18000 consoles, all japan only''<br/>
[[File:KnNqiXM.jpeg|200px]][[File:FHGfvMM.jpeg|200px]][[File:YXgnrZs.jpeg|200px]][[File:7CTF3pm.jpeg|200px]][[File:SLwBUGn.jpg|200px]][[File:vzMYOTs.jpg|200px]][[File:3ubGZSb.jpg|200px]]
* Uses a different knob
* The only drive block to use the [[KHS-400A]] pickup, later units use [[KHS-400B]] (a picture of a drive inside a SCPH-18000 A+ chassis console using the KHS-400B pickup has been added above)
* Later units have a slightly different drive board which contains a Texas Instruments SP3727A [[RF-Amp]] instead of the Sony CXA2605R RF-Amp that was used on early units
* In these pictures, the flat flex cable between the board and the laser unit has been replaced. The only difference to the original cable is the length of the blue flap, which is longer on the original cable on the side connected to the PCB
==== B/B' chassis drive block ====
''north american early/launch SCPH-30001 consoles, north america only''<br/>
[[File:1IbnPhB.jpg|200px]][[File:Nb6CAWI.jpg|200px]][[File:Uhd08l5.jpg|200px]][[File:KCqhhZE.jpg|200px]][[File:Nixc2WV.jpg|200px]][[File:db77gPh.jpg|200px]][[File:EJf4jLE.jpg|200px]]
* Uses a 60 teeth white knob
* Uses a radial tilt control motor only found in this drive block; all other drive blocks have their radial tilt mechanically set at the factory
* Optical pickup is always [[KHS-400B]]


==== C/C' chassis drive block ====
=== Slim drive assemblies (work in progress) ===
''later north american SCPH-30001 consoles, SCPH-30004 PAL launch consoles, SCPH-300xx consoles in many regions''<br/>
* Some of the slim drives exist with different cable lengths for different chassis. K-chassis and L-chassis use same cable length, as do P-chassis and R-chassis. M-chassis and N-chassis use different cable lenghts. This makes a total of 4 slim PS2 drive "types" regarding cable length.

* Uses a 60 teeth white knob
* Takes away the tilt motor introduced on the B/B' chassis drive block
* Has both driver ICs on the drive board
* Has an aluminium plate mounted as heatsink between the drive board and drive frame which thermally connects to the back of the PCB through a thermal pad, however, the ICs are also directly cooled from the other side through a thermal pad connecting them to the expansion bay frame

* Uses a 60 teeth white knob
* Basically a C/C' chassis drive block with a different drive board that only contains the RF-amp but not the driver ICs, since these are located on the motherboard, and no heatsink. Also some slight mechanical differences in the plastic casing.

* Optical pickup changed to [[KHS-400C]] or [[SF-HD7]]
** Pictures show the variant that uses the Sony KHS-400C pickup. Variants using the Sanyo SF-HD7 pickup are identical aside of the pickup itself; the pickups are interchangeable (different calibration data for Mechacon required, use LensChanger or PMAP)

''The Sankyo assembly is incompatible with the Sony/Mitsumi assemblies. It requires different top shells for the case and different [[MechaCon]] calibration data. Only found in K and L-chassis consoles.''<br/>''While Sankyo is confirmed as the manufacturer of the whole assembly, the actual laser pickup might be manufacturerd by '''Philips''', as SPU3170 would be consistent with their naming scheme for pickups and Sankyo was never known to produce pickups, since their expertise lies within electromechanical systems.''

=== PSX drive assemblies ===
=== PSX drive assemblies ===
The PS2-part of the drive is based on the H/I chassis (SCPH-50000/55000) PS2 drive, both electrically and mechanically. The whole drive assembly is connected to the motherboard using 3 flat flex cables: One is an IDE connection to the dedicated drive board of the PSX-part, one provides power (5V, 12V, GND) and also connects the PS2-part sled motor to the motherboard (since it is controlled by the motherboard directly), and one connects the KHS-400C PS2-part pickup to the motherboard, since it is also directly controlled by the motherboard. The spindle motor is always controlled by the dedicated PSX-part drive electronics over IDE, even in PS2 mode.

== Optical pickup ==
=== Notes ===
* KHS-400R seems to be a rebadged Sanyo SF-HD7 with a different plastic cap to remove the "HD7" labelling present on the SF-HD7; they are completely drop-in interchangeable
* KHS-400B and KHS-400C are electrically compatible, but differ in thickness of their bases, making them mechanically incompatible (putting a KHS-400C in place of a KHS-400B will seem to work at first, but the flex cable will bend heavily once the pickup reaches the outer area while moving)
* KHS-400C and KHS-400R / SF-HD7 are mechanically fully compatible, but require different calibration data for [[MechaCon]]
* There are 2 different lens assemblies for KHS-400B, which require different calibration data for MechaCon: T487 (white ring around lens) and T609K (yellow ring around lens). T609K seemingly was introduced with the D/D'-chassis. Some early T609K have a white ring around the lens. These pickups have a violet marking at the adjustment screw. (Markings in other colors don't indicate any lens assembly variant, only violet does)
* KHS-400B (with T487 lens assembly) can fully drop-in replace KHS-400A, but not vice versa (mechanical reasons: KHS-400A in a drive meant for KHS-400B can't press the home-position switch near the spindle). KHS-400B with T609K lens assembly can also be used, but requires different calibration data for MechaCon.
* PSX consoles always have 2 pickups: One KHS-400C (for PS2 games only) and KWS-200A (XPD-001 motherboard) or SF-DB11 (XPD-005 motherboard). Every disc will first be detected by the KWS-200A / SF-DB11, so if this pickup is broken, the console also won't read PS2 games, since the KHS-400C only becomes active once a PS2 game has been detected
* The drive mechanisms of earlier and later PSX consoles are completely different from each other (except the KHS-400C), so you can't replace a KWS-200A with a SF-DB11 or vice versa
* PVR-802W and KHM-430 seem to be mostly identical; KHM-430 is probably a rebadged PVR-802W, as it is with KHS-400R / SF-HD7
 
=== Pickup types ===
 
==== Sony ====
* KHS-400A (A-chassis, A+-chassis, probably AB-chassis) <imgur w=240>SLwBUGn.jpg</imgur> <imgur w=240>vzMYOTs.jpg</imgur>
* KHS-400B (probably A+-chassis, AB-chassis, B/B'-chassis, C/C'-chassis, D/D'-chassis)
** with T487 lens assembly
** with T609K lens assembly
* KHS-400C (F-chassis, G-chassis, H-chassis, I-chassis, PS2-mode laser in all PSX consoles)
* KHS-400R (F-chassis, G-chassis, H-chassis, I-chassis)
* KWS-200A (DVR/DVD-burning laser in earlier PSX consoles)
* KHM-430 (some slim consoles)
* KHM-430C (some slim consoles)
 
==== Sanyo ====
* SF-HD7  (F-chassis, G-chassis, H-chassis, I-chassis)
* SF-DB11 (DVR/DVD-burning laser in later PSX consoles)
* Oddly enough, the I-chassis service manual also mentions Sanyo SF-HD8, SF-HD9 and SF-HD10, which seem to be very different from SF-HD7 in construction. Never seen in any consumer PS2 console.
 
==== Mitsumi ====
* PVR-702W (J-chassis)
* PVR-802W [https://archive.org/details/pvr-802-w-datasheet  (download datasheet)] (some slim consoles)


==== Sankyo ====
* SPU-3170 (some slim consoles)
