I have 2 2.5 inch enclosures I got a extra one today as the first wouldn't work but they both don't work on my WiiU in any config.
Reading around people claim success with every 2.5 enclosure they tried working with a y cable and hub etc etc, but I cant seem to replicate it.
The same Toshiba 2.5 inch drive was tested in all enclosures below and only worrks in one a 3.5 inch Welland externally powered enclosure.
The drive spins up but the games on it arn't shown and the WiiU says theres no drive attached in all configuarations.
I have a Orico USB3 I bought and a usb power splitter for it and no go,
I then just went and bought a another enclusure with a Y cable supplied, slightly diffrent case shape and still no go,
I read these and similar are kinda meant to work but no luck here.
The only device that works is a 3.5 inch Welland Speed Master with a extrernal power adaptor.
I am not sure my options as I want a drive thats self powered via a Y cable or other to play games without the fuss of turning on or changing drives.
Was thinking in the end I may have to get a cruzer fit or something.
I also have a WD elements 2TB in my Wii I could move over and format to the WiiU and I hope I could get all the games and saves on the WiiU.
Just trying to assess options here.
