Of course it's OK. I've been using a 128GB flash drive for years perfectly fine.
I don't know why it would even need anything like TRIM. It's not like it will run an OS from there... it just stores the games and save data.

For vWii you won't notice an improvement, but I'd be interested in the benefits of using an SSD on Wii U, since the it's possible that it could result in even faster loading but without 3.0 I doubt it. Might be something I'll have to try maybe.

I think the advantage is that it won't require an external power supply or an Y cable

I had to use a hub anyway, it worked some of the time but every now and again it dropped out as there wasn't enough power, regularly enough for it to be a problem. I also found if you use a hub however the WiiU recognises your drive when plugged in directly, it changes and wanted to wipe the data.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.
