A new innovation in the retro gaming community now allows you to run your entire PS2 library directly from a $50 memory card, thanks to the Multi-Purpose Memory Card Emulation (MMCE) protocol.

Probably cheaper/better to use a 2.5" hard drive. Though I guess this works with Slims as well

I think the best thing is to load your games over the network. The usb ports are only 1.0. And I’m pretty sure the network adapter hard drive connector either only accepts up to 40gb drives or it only uses a pata connection.

I bought a 3rd party drive adaptor without a network port and had to load my games on my PC using a network enclosure.

It was still a pain. Its all soooooo slow and buggy.

Having tried both a USB3 drive adapter and downloading over Ethernet, I'll say that Ethernet was way slower for me.

The average copy time on the adapter was about 30 minutes, but over Ethernet it took 3-4 times as long.
