2tb is the absolute max - PS2 uses standard Fat32 formatting, so it can't address anything bigger.
Beyond that, it depends on the interface and the loading method, really. If you're using IDE, 1tb is gonna be the max since that's the biggest anybody ever made an IDE drive. If you're using a sata bridge, OPLoader can work with up to 1.5tb or so, or 256 games, whichever comes first - but it's Dang picky on drives. HD Loader should work on more than 256 games, though it's a bit of crapshoot. Ultimately it's a pretty poorly documented area since the vast majority of people moved on from PS2 long before TB class harddrives were available, let alone cheap.
Also worth noting that PCSX2 works pretty Dang well and putting a 6tb HDD in a PC is no big deal at all.
