I never needed more than the 32gb that came with it since I bought mostly physical games, but you could use a USB stick

are there any limitations / disadvantage of using USB stick?

Few years back, I lost my data from a USB stick: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=203911

Nintendo doesn't recomment you use one (copy from that thread):

Can I use a Flash/Thumb drive as an external storage device?

  • Because these devices have a limited number of rewrites and are not suited to long-term storage of important game data, we do not recommend the use of Flash/thumb drives as an external storage device solution. For best results, we recommend using a hard drive with its own power supply that connects to the Wii U via the USB port on the console.
  • Commercial Flash memory has a limit on the number of times you can write over it and we don't recommend flash memory devices for long-term storage of important save data.
