Bad idea.  May as well keep it built in.

 

Besides, we have no idea how many layers the Wii U game discs could be.  It may be up to 3 layers deep.  Don't think I want to see the price tag on a 75 GB SD card based game.

If it's for backwards compatibility, it's a great idea. It leaves room in the consoles for future proofing by using the extra space for higher hardware performance.

How does that space equate to higher hardware performance?
