I am pleased to tell you that, formatting a HDD or SSD for use with a WiiU will not result in your drive being unusable.
The problem if indeed there is truly one, would likely be the fault of your OS or your use of your OS.
If you cannot use Microsoft Windows to do the job, use a Linux distro, you can boot a wide selection of Linux distros from a USB, meaning that you would not be required to install it on your main system.
Give Linux a try, personally I recommend using a Debian based system with the GNOME desktop environment.
