I bought this TOSHIBA Canvio Basics "HDTB420EK3AA"
But it gets stuck at "Initialize USB device" on USB Loader GX.
Is this drive hopeless, should i send it back? Would a regular internal 2.5" with a dumb enclosure be more compatible?
(I had no issues with same setup but a 3.5" Seagate on a powered enclosure)

I have it.
Tried both cables into the wii U or
data to wii U and power to a USB hub.
Same error.

Also FAT32 32k or NTFS. Same.

Resolved! Solution send back the Canvio basics.

Do Get:
1. Generic laptop 2.5" HDD/SSD. I personally got a 1TB Seagate BarraCuda HDD
2. Enclosure. Something that does no processing only SATA to USB. I got a Sabrent one.
3. Y cable. With this enclosure doesn't even need to be "Micro B to A". Just plain A to A USB split.

My setup is finally finished! I can play the games now lol.
