I installed almost a terabyte of Wii U games onto my external HDD. Connected it to my computer to see what it would do. What ever it did wasn't good. I already beat all my games and there weren't any new ones coming out so I use it for sharing files between Windows 10 and OS X. 

 

Thanks btw, i always believed that since I was very young... Probably for the better though :)

When you connected it, Windows probably said doesn't recognize the file system and asked to reformat it.  Was probably an easy to dismiss popup or notification.  Did you have to reformat it to use it to share those files between OS's?

Actually, when I connected it, Windows didn't do anything. So I opened Disk Management. This allowed me to locate it. All I did was force windows to locate it. After that it was too late. But yeah after that I purposefully formated it to a type that both Microsoft and Apple agree on :) Thanks for your interest in this.
