Hacking Can I use 2 HDD's at the same time for Nintendont & vWii backup loaders?

Hi Guys, just a question.
I already have a 64GB USB used for Wii U backups.
Today I bought a External HDD 5TB and formatted in NTFS.
So Im wondering if it works to have them both at the same time.

I've tried here but the headaches won. So I install my vwii games on sd card and wiiu on hdd. And why 5tb? You'll never fit all this size with vwii and wiiu together!

The wiiu only works with 2tb hdd or smaller so you wasted your money buying a 5tb one lol.

yeah, the way I have mine setup is I have a 2TB drive for wii u backups, a 1TB drive for virtual Wii backups (ustealthed), and the sd card is for Nintendont backups. I also have toggle switches if I need them on both hdds. the setup works perfectly fine without having to do anything.

why I also have an external power.
And I dont want to use that for Wii u, i wanna use it for vWii
Because I dont think this is going to be a problem or is it?

Can the Wii U and vWii even read NTFS?

no. fat32 is the correct format for the virtual wii or the wii u if using mocha.

Hi guys.
I have a 2TB for WiiU and a 1TB for vWii and Nintendont. The 1TB has 2 partitions, Fat32 with Nintendon't and WBFS for vWii. Using UStealth and Cfg-loader latest mod.
Works like a charm :-)

Well wiiu only reads 2TB HDD, also it I remember getting some nags about not having 2 HDD connected at the same time. I may be wrong, in the options, it allows two to be connect, i suppose for making file transfers?

From my experience, you should be able to use 1 HDD for VWII and one for Wii U, honestly I never used a HDD for vwii, only USB Micro sd adapter. There should be tutorial or youtube video with the setup if you look. Don't buy a expensive one, maybe 500GB is the limit for Vwii, sound like enough for your own collection of wii games + game cube games if you plan to use nintendon't.

I have 2 drives, both 1.5TBs, one for just Wii U games, the other for the vWii. You can't have them both connected at the same time and work properly, but what I do is have one connected to the Wii U with the Y-cable, and the other drive sitting on top of it, and when I need to use the other drive, you just disconnect the cord from the plugged in drive (keeping the Y cable connected to the Wii U), and plug it into the back of the other drive since they connect with the same drive.

@duffmman: actually mine are connected at the same time and work flawlessly. Ustealth...
