Hi, I had for the past 2 years one no brand hdd enclosure/dock that I used for my 3. 5 hard drive that I use to store my WiiU content, no problems at all, my hard drive, enclosure and wiiU seems to work well.
Recently since I had that enclosure busy with another hard drive in a Pc, I tried to use a different enclosure from a brand called sabrent with the same hard drive on the WiiU, the WiiU didnt detect it, at all, didnt recognize it, didnt start it or gave me a message of format, it just didnt seem to be recognized by the WiiU and of course my hdd content didnt load.
I kinda freaked out about the posibility of my hdd being bad but no, as soon as I used my original enclosure and booted again the WiiU all my content was back again with no problems.
I also know for a fact that the second enclosure isnt damaged since I use it on the VWii on the same WiiU for my Wii games and it works!.
Just for curiosity switched my hdd back and forth between enclosures and the same happened over and over, everything appears with my first enclosure, nothing with the second one...
My question is, what If some day my first enclosure stops working?
Is this some kind of hardware Id bound to recognize my WiiU hard drive trough the enclosure?
I must add that my hdd was formated and is used with the original enclosure all the time with no problems.
Is there a way to change that behavior?
Im trying to use my only WiiU formatted hard drive with another enclosure/dock, but I cant.
