Most people use a USB hard disk for back-up. However, it is also a good second storage device for data, but not necessarily for runing programs from. And last, the USB hard drive is a great way to easily copy over large folders or files from one computer so they can be used on a different computer.

Can you connect internal hard disk to ps2 via usb?

No, you cannot directly connect an internal hard disk to a PlayStation 2 via USB. The PS2 does not support USB connections to internal drives. However, you can use an external USB hard drive with the appropriate format and compatible software, such as Open PS2 Loader, to run games from it. Alternatively, you can use a network adapter to connect a compatible IDE hard drive directly to the PS2.
