LOL western digital HDDs are famous for not working with PS2s. Try getting a Maxtor/Seagate HDD.

What is it you'd like to do with the hard drive? On its own, the PS2 cannot do anything useful with the hard drive.

Any 4-pin IDE HDD should work with the PS2.
Though, if you have a 3rd party HDD (not the official one sony made for the PS2) you won't be able to much things with it. You need an exploit to make full use of it.
