Well heres my prob... Got buttloads of market games, dlc, updates, etc on a 500gb ext, but wii u formatted it for wii u crap. This 500 gb required a seperate purchase of a usb "y" cable for data and power, and to my knowledge only the back usb ports work w "y" usb? My wii u is gunna be a cluster f*** with a 500gb, and a 2tb taking up 4 usb slots... Fml... Lol. Thanks again for the tips n feedback.
i also use a spliter to use my external hdd. but i dont let wii u os touch it because wii U uses their own file system so you cant even partition a wii U formatted hdd wii u will just take the whole thing, and once that happens computers will no longer read it.
