I got the 128gb of this & it works fine with my setup, but ....
If you intend using a Fat32 (32k clusters) partition, then you will have issues accessing most Wii games, or none at all.
2k clusters have a slightly higher success rate, but always verify the 2k cluster size, as GUI Formatter can be a little tricky & present them as 32k cluster. Happened to me many times.

WBFS partition works much better, but you'll hate the inconveniences.

Thanks, but what's happen with NTFS?

There is no NTFS driver for the Wii if I remember correct.
NTFS works for cIOS/USB loaders, but not for GC/Nintendont or for emulators or most other homebrew, so it's pretty limited in what you can use it for.

Flash drives generally don't work well or at all with USB loaders, it's best to stick with an external HDD or SSD.

I hear that things are about to change - For the better :) (nuff said).

What is the best format if I only gonna use the USB for Wii Games?
WBFS partition for Wii games is still your better option, but it's not Win friendly.
Stick with SD cards (Fat32) for GC games.
