Hacking Substitute SD CaRD

[MUDD_BR]

Greetings!
I´m using a 128Gb SD Card in my WiiU but mostly files are for vWii. Now I just want to replace it with a external USB HDD that´s bigger and cheaper.
What are the files and folders that I really need to maintain on another SD Card to replace that one? I´m thinking on put a 4Gb SD that´s in no use here. Or it´s not necessary to keep a SD if I transfer all files for the HDD?
Thanks!

Jeep everything but the Warez.... Only put the "wbfs" and "games" folder on the USB Drive (needs to be fat32 32kcluster)

Ok, hope all files fit on my smaller SD Card. Thank you sir!
I´m transferring my warez to USB HDD so can´t test right now (it´s slow as f*ck that process).

Just select everything but the games and wbfs folder and right click and properties and it will give you the full size of your files! It shouldnt be that big unless you're using emulators and have a "roms" folder...

Also keep in mind the Wii games HQ Covers also take a bit of space depending on how many games you have.

You´re right, just the files it´s good to go! I´ve some files on another folders that will burn right now, thanks!

You can load everything from USB. The drawback is you can't use UStealth to hide the drive from the Wii U if you do that, since UStealth is more or less only supported by USB loaders. You can load covers and config from an UStealthed HDD but not the homebrew itself.
If you don't use UStealth the Wii U will prompt you to format the drive any time it's plugged in while in Wii U mode.

Right, that´s why I need another SD Card (The files needed just fits on 1Gb card if so).
My intent is to use UStealth in this Wii HD; I´m using another one just for WiiU, it´s possible to use the 2 at the same time??

EDIT: It won´t worked. I need another case for my HDD. Maybe one energized and with on/off button, so I didn´t need to use UStealth, is that possible?
Thanks everyone!

Remember you need enough power, a Y cable of external powered HDD

I´ve just one Y cable right now and it´s not even compatible with the another case I get for vwii... but it´s possible to connect two HDDs (one using front USBs)?

No, the HDD needs to have enough power, that means if you have two self powered drives you will need TWO Y cables!

I get it, and I have two Y cables, but one of the cases uses male x male port and the other is the traditional mini USB, so I´ll need another case. So it´s possible to use all USB ports on WiiU with 2 HDDs (when had two Y cables)?

Yes. you can use all 4 for two HDD
