I am contemplating in getting an External HDD Enclosure for my PS2. I am tired of opening up my computer just to connect the computer's IDE to the PS2 HDD.
If I do, can winWHIIP read the External HDD? Considering that, the External HDD uses USB 2.0, not IDE. It may seem like USB 2.0 is a 'long' way out of this, but I have a lot of patience (contradiction not intended).
But anywho... I have a SG 160GB HDD, I need a simple encloser that I can connect to the PC -> transfer PS2 iso -> HDD (Encloser w/ USB 2.0 transfer rate) -> PS2.
If you want to go with USB then just know that it will be slower than the internal drive. It will be ablout the same speed as using the DVD. Why get the enclosure and USB Extreme, when you can just get HD Loader and use what you have.
When I need to patch my HDD games, I just take it out of my PS2, put it in a hard drive enclosure (you could get one for $20-$30), connect it through USB 2.0, and it works with WinHIIP.
