You need the PS2 network adaptor - it has IDE and power connectors and you just attach it to the drive and slot it in. Many standard 3.5" IDE PC hard drives will work, but not all (you should check a compatability list).

I did read somewhere that there is a size limit on hard drives you can use without problems, I think it was 120GB, but I have seen many PS2s for sale with up to 200GB drives fitted, so I don't know how true this is.
