Just a hint. Portables are tricky as most will require a Y cable (because they are USB 3.0 now). I got an imation 500gb one. Sometimes the Wii U doesnt detect it and sometimes it does. Just need to turn console on and off and it usually does. I have had my Wii U freeze on me before because of the external hdd.


Nintendo could have solved a lot of hdd issues with USB 3.0.

Do you have a Y cable? If so, it still doesn't work? Maybe I'll reconsider and just rearrange some things and get a regular hard drive...I have much thinking to do.

it works, but i think i may have damaged my usb port when i use to run it of one port (ie did the reboot trick till it detected). With Y cable, lIke 9/10 times the hdd loads up on the Wii U when I start up. the 1/10 i need to reboot.
