What kind of SSD is your friend using?

Also, is your friend using a Y cable to give the drive more power using 2 USB Slots?

Some drives need that extra power, that could be the reason why the drive is acting up on you. Or it's not a brand name SSD, something could be wrong with the SSD. Even though the chances are a lot lower that an SSD going bad, then a HDD, since an SSD has no moving parts.

SSD on a Wii U is a waste, IMHO. It should be used for what it was designed to, boot a computer faster. For the Wii U, a plain old SATA USB hard disk is plenty good enough, and will do the job better.

Your right. It is a waste, since the WiiU doesn't have USB 3.0.

But if you have an SSD laying around that your not really using, then an SSD would do the job just fine.

The problem doesn't exist anymore as far as I know. :)

Of course it's waste somehow. Nevertheless it has a small advantage (which of course is not enough to justify the price difference): It can call to the ground without being damaged. :D

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?

    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
