@The_Wacho Did you come from reddit?
Anyways, I have a 4TB My Passport which I use (bought ~march in EU). However identified as 2627 not 25E2. Vendor lists my drive as a WDBPKJ0040BBK-WESN.
Disk Config:
- 1. Partition FAT32 - 32KB Clusters (GUIFormat) ~1,4TB (Primary Partition)
- 2. Partiton NTFS - 32KB Clusters (Mini Partition Tool IIRC) - ~2,4TB (Primary Partition)
- 3. 400 MB un-allocated space at the end (I am not sure why I do this, but I do)
- Always use Y cable (Have not tested without)
- Always shut the console completely down (so disk spins down)
Other Config:
- PAL Wii black with GC-ports Console 4.3
- CIOS as per wii.guide/cIOS
- Emunand FULL for all games (Emunand based on console NAND) - Created in USBLoader GX
- Emunand on SD-card.
- All sources for files match Redump
- WiiBackupManager (keep all partitions) for all transfers
My experience:
- Some games will load to black screen the first time I try them
- They seem to work the next time
- I have only played two games from the drive multiple times/for an extended period of time (Anno Dawn of Discovery and Super Mario Galaxy) and they always load fine.
- As I have a lot of games, USBLoader takes a while to start... This might allow for further spin-up of the drive before I load a game
- I use USBLoader GX (1272 enhaned mod) for everything
