You should check out this guide made by @fiveighteen

https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-definitive-guide-to-wii-u-hacking.396828/

It explains pretty much everything. There's also a loadiine section which covers sd cards.

Thank you guys, that was very helpful, glad to be on board.

Just wanted to add that USB support for Loadiine should be in by the end of January/early February, before you go drop a lot of cash on a large SD card.

Just going to pickup a cheap £25 64gb Sandisk extreme sdxc card from ebay.

Thanks for the heads up!

Anything with a read speed of 80 MBps or more as far as I know. Just get a USH-1 SD. Not sure if Wii U reads from UHS-3 though.

All games load just as they do from the disc, except Super Mario 3D World which takes a bit longer to load anything. But it's definitely playable.
