I am looking at buying one of these today, but want to be on the safe side.

Didn't help with my "HotD: Overkill" issues though, still have those "dancing" zom... mutants. Seems it's just a bad dump, but I don't have another one currently. But maybe I got rid of my random Okami and SMG freezes, will try that out later.

I want to buy this drive too, please help!

It works a treat.
Paritioned the drive, half and half.
Command line wbfs.exe , init the drive.
plugged it into Wii, turned on and loaded USB V1.1. Found it first time and I have xfered 10 Wii games onto it.
Very pleased with my purchase.
Just tried that. After that, played level 2 without any error, restarted the Wii, deleted the savegame, startet a new one and played through level 1 completely without errors too. Seems to be fixed for me though. So thank you (and you all) very much!hdhacker said:Cypherdias said:I tried to use hdparm with my IDE drive I put into an external enclosure (took it out of the enclosure and connected to my PC directly).

Some drives may require the "-K 1" to be added to make the change permanent.

Got myself one of these on the £54 offer at the moment.
Tried the Mario Kart pause, left it for 20mins and it continued fine, no crashes at end of the level and continued playing fine.
I didnt format this drive with my PC, plugged it straight into the wii when i got it and did the format via the wii, havent partioned it for the PC at all.

Yeah, nice, how many GB you have? I think I would buy a 320GB for ~110$. (In germany it´s 85€)

It's about the same price as the WD, a hair smaller, and has a 5 year warranty vs. 3 year for the WD.
