I have always used a WD passport for my external, but I am not sure if that would work on the Wii U at all?? (unfortunately). I'm not sure what spec is required for that re a dedicated power source. I believe the Wii U may not be able to detect whether the power is on, on the device, so the harddrive would shut off without its own dedicated power sourse.
I know that the WD power book or WD element works with the Wii U, but they are quite pricey. $99+ on the official site for the book w/ the elements on newegg and other places for about $64 but buy it from best buy so you can return if their is an issue. power book is actually under 100 at bestbuy right now when I googled it. (I have noticed that their is always a certain % of any product that is faulty and with hard drives, the % is quite high no matter who the producer is. WD have never failed on me though for external use.
