"Drives that require more than USB 2.0 connections might not work properly with Wii U. Drives that have two USB connectors will work, however."

That part is not correct. It was in reference to powering the USB drive through the USB only. If you only use one USB then it might not get powered, i.e. work. If you plug it into an outlet it will definitely work with one USB or if the drive is the "Y-Type" and uses two USBs it will definitely work. Can be USB2 or 3.

That's a really weird choice, most external HDD that I've seen have only 1 USB port. Haven't seen any external HDD (that goes below 1 TB) that can be plug into an outlet or have a "Y-type" port.

They said it "might" not work, not that it doesn't. Basically Nintendo is always overly cautious in how they officially state something. This way a person with a 1TB or larger drive can't complain that its not working. But someone with a 250GB that uses USB power would be fine anyways.
