    HDDs other than the original Sony one don't show up in the browser and also don't work together with games like FFXI.

    If you have a NTSC PS2 and can get hold of the NTSC HDD Utility Disc and have a DMS3 (who can make a non $ony HDD look like one) in your PS2 then an updated browser can be installed in your PS2.

    The browser is already in your PS2, start PS2 without a disc in it and it will be visible.
    The browser extension that makes the HDD show up in the browser is installed using the HDD Utility Disc that comes with the $ony HDD.
