My second External for my Wii U has now died -edit- Actually all my data just vanished, save data too!

Sorry to hear.

But thank goodness we still have physical copies cause I would've lost it if I were in your position.

All my save data erased off my Wii U internal as well. So yeah, really annoying! Countless Zelda hours gone!

So if your external crashes then your save files on the Wii U are wiped also?  That doesn't make sense.
