[QUOTE="raging_chaos, post: 9850909, member: 541723"] Use an older/different enclosure, that one you have is probably being presented as an internal drive instead of as a USB mass storage device (UASP vs BOT). When you connected it to a PC does it show up as an internal or a USB drive? If it shows up as an internal drive then you definitely need a different enclosure since the Wii U can only use Mass Storage. If it shows up as a USB Mass Storage device then there's some sort of incompatibility with the combination you are using, some enclosures only work with certain drives since the Wii U can be picky. As far as Y-cables go they are not part of the USB spec but by using one you're just increasing the available amperage and it is no different than connecting two batteries in parallel. In the Wii U's case, you would be getting 1A to work with. The only real downside is if you are using two USB ports that don't output the same amperage (ex: .5 + 1) but that isn't a problem with the Wii U's ports. However, you've modded the power rail so you shouldn't need a Y-cable at all. TLDR: This is going to come down to an enclosure incompatibility, not a power issue. [/QUOTE]
