I have both on my wii. The wii Key 2 enabled me to play back up disks, however the softmods were necessary to allow usb connection to a hard drive. Depending on the mod chip you buy, you will get different functionality. The newest chip from the WiiKey family looks pretty sweet as it adds an external usb port that connects with a hard drive.

A hard mod on a Black Wii (well most of them) would be pointless as the DVD drive is physically unable to read a burnt disk. The best route for you would be a soft mod unless you really want a chip then you would need an older DVD drive installed.

If you have a look here ••• External DVD Rom Drive for wii Backup Homebrew Channel USB Loader you will find a usb powered external drive that can read wii games and will load them the same as you would for your hdd with soft mod.. No need to open wii and void warranty.
