Wouldn't the transfer rate for usb-attached HDDs be pretty slow? |
Yes, unless it is USB 3.0 (which I doubt).

If you would have informed yourself you would know that all four usb ports in the Wii U system are 2.0. I think we knew this since last year. 2.0 is fast enough for HD content, it's just slower when transfering, but if it's reading the files it should be fine.
Networking
Wii U can access the Internet via wireless (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) connection. The console features four USB 2.0 connectors – two in the front and two in the rear – that support Wii LAN Adapters. |

Indeed, which is why I said I doubted it. I want to see a USB 2.0 reading/writing vs. say a laptop 7200 rpm drive.

if you are comparing USB2 to SATA3 HDD on a laptop(5400 or 7200 makes almost no difference in this case due to HDDs reaching performance cap, where SSDs have not, even with SATA6), you are looking at 2-4x faster on the laptop setup.
