Hey guys!
I got a wiiu about a week ago and I bought a WD external hard drive, which is self powered, and I bought a y cable and all was good. The Wii u formatted the drive directly and I installed a couple of games and all was well and dandy. After about 2 days, I turned on my Wii u and it started recognizing the drive and after about 10 seconds the drive failed to be recognized. Then I realised that the external hard drive was blinking. I tried messing with the y cable and plugging and unplugging it and after about an hour, the Wii u recognized the drive but after about 10 minutes of playing it gives the error that the drive was disconnected and that I should shut off my console and check if the hard drive is getting enough power. This has been going on for 2 days now. Please someone help me!! Also, I'm going to upload some photos of my setup.
