Hacking HDD for USB Loading

[fatsquirrel]

Hey there!

Before I go and purchase this little guy, I wanted to make sure, does anyone have it already and does it work OK with the Brazilian usb loading?

Heres the link to the disc

WD Elements Portable 1TB for those who dont want to click


I know that I need a Y cable for it, but Im worried because Nintendo does not officially recommend these drives. Would I better with a good 128gb USB flash drive instead?

Have a great day lads and hoping for some feedback!

Mhmm, currently only ported my games to the hdd. Can't say without looking it later up (currently at work).
Games are, Xenoblade, Mario Maker, Mario 3D, Splatoon. If you want co calculate yourself.
After i got home i can give better numbers.
