Sweet! I rather not have to pay money to play some free dlc but I don't want to miss out when they initially release! I I'll look for an external hard drive now and delay fixing the system memory later.

Thanks again everyone for all your help!

Like Yoda said, the best option is to get an HDD with it's own power cord, the problem is that those are generally pretty expensive, and last time I checked the lowest I could find were 1 TB, which in my opinion is way too much.

The second best option at a lower price is this:

With that cable, you can use pretty much use any HDD without problems. I recommend this, haven't had any issues with this combo yet.

That's a good deal on the y cable and thanks for the hard drive recommendation! I'll definitely add it to my potential Wii U hard drive list. I also love how the WD hard drive comes in colors other than black! I'll probably get a black one to fit with my TV and Wii U though  

And regarding the separate files question, I'm wondering about dlc being in a different storage device than the main game file and if the game would still run the dlc as well.

I just started my Wii U really quick and tested. I most have been confused with something else when I played Wind Waker, I can't move the save data or DLCs from the System Memory to the HDD. Seems like I'm only allowed to move everything and not individual stuff.
