Depends what model you have (40gb, 60gb, 80gb etc.) and which region you live in/bought your ps3 (North-America, Europe, Asia etc.). Some ps3's come with this feature, so I suggest you find out which model you have and do a Google search to see if it is compatible with ps2 games.

No unless you have an old PS3 with 4 USB ports nothing you do will allow you to play PS2 games on your PS3

From related link "If a PlayStation 3 is not backward compatible, you will not be able to add this function through any hardware (i.e., changing the hard disk drive) or software (i.e., updates, homebrew) upgrades or modifications."
