Lol, no need to be embarrassed.

Off topic: Before I forget, did you ever test ProgressiveSwitch v1.1 on an emulated NAND?

Guys, seriously... just burn your games onto DVD for backup. They are very cheap.

That way, if your external HDD goes out, you'll have them always to restore.

No need to mirror or anything like that.

By the way, I have about 80 games on my 250 GB hard drive (scrubbed and update partition removed). I have pretty much every game that isn't shovelware (i.e. Bratz, Imaginz, Nickelodeon or Disney games, etc.) - AND every single WiiWare and VC game as of a couple of months ago - so consider that when choosing a size.

2 TB seems like overkill for a Wii only HDD.

The latest passport drives have crapware built in that you cannot fully disable or get rid of. This will interfere with and will not work with the Wii.

Didn't have that firmware issue on the Passport I got two months ago. I installed WD Smartware and it works just fine; I can run backups (WBFS), emulators, media player all from a FAT32 partition. I can understand a HDD being a piece of crap if it was from Toshiba.

I just bought a 1TB Western Digital HDD. It was one of the best from what I saw on the compatibility list.
