2 questions about your external HDD: Which one are you using and does it have an external power supply?
|
I am using the Toshiba Hdd recommended by Nintendo on their website, and yes it does have a power supply. No, its not the wii u, as I have said before I just got it back from Nintendo last month. They said there was nothing wrong with it, I am inclined to believe them over some one on these forums. I did buy a new HDD as they recommended and transfered all my files over. But the problem still persists.
The wii u never freezes without the HDD connected, it has something to do with the way it's communicating with the HDD.

If it was the OS, it would also do it when your external drive is disconnected. My guess is it's a problem with the firmware of your HDD. If that's the case there ain't much you can do (upgrade the firmware on a pc, but I'm not sure if that update persists after getting reformatted for the Wii U) and certainly nothing Nintendo can do about it.
