I also have a 6" ethernet cable going from the router's LAN port to the PS2 Ethernet jack. I have a single micro USB cable going from the PS2 to the Mango router and the Seagate drive is pluged into the router's USB-A port. I'm using a Seagate 2TB USB3 HDD I bought about 2-3 years ago and a GL.iNet Mango router. This way you get to use OPL in Ethernet mode (about 10-12MB/s - faster than DVD), your HDD can be NTFS or exFAT so you don't need to split 4GB+ games & everything is direct to the PS2 (no home network or internet needed.Īs a bonus, if your portable HDD is relatively new, you can power both the mini-router and portable drive via a single PS2 usb port - no external power or on/off switch needed! Best way hands down (IMHO) is to buy a mini-router with Samba support and plug that into your ethernet port and plug the portable HDD into the mini-router.
