That, and you have to use a second PSU just for the hard drive which can be a PITA.
For the cleanest look, I configure slim PS2's to interface with a 2.5'' IDE Hard-Disk. 2.5'' IDE drives are self powered through the 44 pin IDE cable. It's just a matter of tapping into the 5v rail on the PS2 and putting that through the corresponding pins of the IDE interface to power the drive. Nevertheless, looking at a bare drive resting on top of a Slim PS2 isn't attractive. The phat is the best way to go for HDD support. If you're really adamant in coupling a hdd with a slim PS2, I recommend picking up an aftermarket slim PS2 case that has a bay for a hard-disk. Though, this still slightly defeats the purpose of owning a "slim" PS2.
