usb hdd is very slow. the best thing to do is buy a ide hard drive and the network adapter.

also, you will need hdloader to run games off the hdd. if you don't have a modchip installed, then you will have to use the memory card exploit.

the network adapter powers the internal hard drive you install. IDE is a regular 40(?) pin hard drive. SATA hdd cannot work with the network adapter due to the connection design.

the ps2 uses the old usb1.1 connection. it can't load as fast as the modern usb2.0. also the old fat ps2's can accept a hdd. that's what the expansion bay is for.
