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

If that were truly the case then it would be due to the HDD's ICs or internal management of data, after a decade of service errors are not altogether unavoidable.

If you need any help with Linux I am happy to be of assistance.

Thanks but I'm quite familiar with linux actually, as it seems it's not a universal problem I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. Though as I bought another one to use I don't know when I'll bother to do it.

But yeah I'm sure I'll be able to fix it then, seems it isn't the 100% concrete problem I thought it was.
