I wanted to add I bought a Toshiba Canvio 500 GIG hard drive. The HDD was making a clicking noise when I plugged it into the Wii U. Some might mistake this clicking for a thrashing noise a drive makes at the end of its cycle but its different. After reading this thread and others I went with the adapter below on Amazon from the seller eForCity
A to Micro-B USB 3.0 Y Cable, Black
http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Micr...&keywords=A+to+Micro-B+USB+3.0+Y+Cable,+Black
Not sure if I can post that link to another site or mention sellers by name, honestly I should of read the TOS for GBATEMP...
The end result is it WORKS and I wanted to chime in with my specific successful example.
