USB cable outside = Can disconnect from Wii and plug into PC to add games
USB cable inside = Open up Wii every time you want to add a new game

Don't be a jackass. It wouldn't even take any skill to do that, and I prefer not to lose a USB port. Also, if you use another USB port, you wouldn't be able to hook it to your comp at will.
I still personally think the easiest thing to do this would be to get one of the really small SSDs to do it with. I'm not going to mod my Wii to use this, but I just received a 32GB Runcore SSD for my Dell Mini 9, and I wanted to test it with the Wii before I did anything else. It already has a microUSB port on there, and is absolutely tiny (they make up to a 128 GB one that is slightly larger in size):QUOTE said:selling it...? maybe about 100 bucks. why would anyone want a Wii with no DVD drive and a HD stuck inside? it just lost TONS more functionality.
Hardly, only thing it's lost is the ability to play Gamecube games..and it's not like Wanin won't make gamecube support at some point.

It'd take about 50 seconds to replace it, haha.
