The common abbreviation for a hard drive is HDD.  Hard Disk Drive.

This helps reduce the confusion between the magentic data storage system and the display resolution marketing phrase.

 

But this doesn't sound like a retail product to me.  While the concept of having a game and related data in its own partition would work for static retail kiosks or special ordered Wii (static as in the game selection remains constant), it's a poor idea for a dynamicly utilized Wii (games added and removed). 

To resize or remove a game's partiation requires a whole reformatting of the hard disk.  It's time consuming, easily corruptable and tough on a HDD's life span.

 

A standard directory system would be a superior method for dynamically used Wii's.  Paritions could then be used to seperate game data, saved data, system files, online connectivity files, etc....  This way you could format a partiton (delete everything) without losing all data and you'd not have to worry about the size or complete remove of a partition.
