The disc.info file just contains the metadata and hash checksums for the games in the /wbfs/ folder. It should get updated after a transfer or you can delete it and it will be recreated. If it isn't getting updated you may have a drive problem.
the enclosure is the device which convert the IDE/ATA or SATA to USB.
if the drive you want to buy is already USB2.0, then you don't need an enclosure. it's already a bundle enclosure+hdd. the enclosure is what you see, the metal box with the USB connector is not a hard drive but a shell which contain an hard drive inside.
Like Tswntk said, the compatibility is often an issue with the enclosure, not the drive. but it's not always easy to open the USB device to extract the hard drive and try another enclosure.
I suppose that model should work. you can't be sure before trying it, but usually USB2.0 are good.
It's also auto-powered from the usb port, so if you plan to plug it to a WiiU, you will need a Y-Cable for additional USB power.
Amazon is suggesting a Y-cable in its "usually sold together" section.
I don't know what the message in the WBM log means, sorry.
that's becoming really strange!
files are getting corrupt by transferring them to usb
now files are disappearing...
your computer is haunted! no other explanation
well, something is affecting your files. antivirus shouldn't edit files, at best it would warn you that something is wrong and won't let you copy.
at worse it would delete files it detects as harmful, but you should be able to disable that option (auto delete) or add a warning message before doing any action.
Maybe you have a virus, didn't you notice any other missing files on your computer or external devices?
or your flash is really the issue, but that's strange that it's doing the same think after formating with different partition format (if FAT file table has an issue, ntfs should work, etc.), unless sectors are not (over)written correctly, but all the partition would be corrupted.
note: If you use DMToolBox, select the "raw" option.
it will only move+rename the file without editing the ISO content.
Nintendont works best with unedited games.
Check the partitions. If you used it for anything else like making a boot USB for Linux it could have extra partitions that can't be removed by just reformatting it.
You can use Diskpart in Windows to do it but be very careful with that tool. You can easily wipe out one of your PC's drives.
"LIST DISK" then note the disk number for your flash drive. (it shows the size of each drive)
"SELECT DISK x" - x is the disk number
"LIST PARTITION" - just to make sure you picked the right drive
"CLEAN" <--- WIPES THE SELECTED DISK
"CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY"
Then you can format it. If Diskpart shows that drive as only 4GB under "list disk" then it is bad.
It sounds like it's either bad or intentionally reporting the wrong free space, then.
You can have multiple partitions on a USB flash, you just can't make them or remove them with Disk Management. Here is one of my 2GB flash drives with LibreELEC (media center OS) installer on it.
