Hacking Help migrating from HDD to SSD

[Gh0sti]

hey gang I just was switching my Wii USB loader from a HDD to a Solid State Drive and I had it setup with USB CFG 70v65 and on my HDD I had 2 partitions FAT32 for the apps and NTFS partition to hold my wii games. So on the SSD on my Macbook Pro I formated my SSD to FAT32 10GB partition and 460GB NTFS and copy/pasted from HDD to SSD. However when I go to launch USB CFG it goes black screen on the SSD but my HDD still works. Is there something that my Macbook messed up when creating partitions by chance?

Format the entire thing to fat32 1 partition and use Wii Backup Manager to turn games into .wbfs and not waste all that padded iso space

Is there even a benefit of loading wii games from ssd? I think not.

Probably slightly faster loading and you can drop it.

From the Wii part, no benefit at all actually because of... ↓

So no SSD speed benefit at all.

But considering that we can store many games on a, let's say, 120 GB SSD Drive, and is a more portable sized one, well.. besides, it was noted that HDD's are starting the failure process.

My Samsung evo 850 failed too on me on windows.

even ssd fails and don’t you need storage device with external power supply in order to work on the wii ?

Are there ssd with power supply?

I am not going to any new pc hardware like ssd until they copied PlayStation 5 ssd speed.

also a motherboard that support it.

I wonder what would be the name of next gen usb that supports PS5 ssd hehe

What did you do to them? I have over 30 hard drives from 5 different manufacturers dating to the late 1990s, from 20GB laptop drive to an 8TB external. Every one of them works just fine and only two have failed. The first was a Seagate 1.5TB on the first day I received it back in 2009, and the second was an Intel SSD (!!!) that they replaced under warranty back in 2010 after less than 6 months of use.

my 1TB that I bought couple years ago I plugged it in and it stopped working, I decided to start switching to SSD for the eventual failure of HDDs. My Wii HDD still works but I wanted to start getting it backed up and switched over before it fails completely.
