Hacking Updating the storage compatibility list

[ZeryOs]

In the recent years storage have evolved greatly for what we have used to. Because the HDD i used to use for my side-loading with USB Loader GX died I found it really hard to find a piece of hardware to work correctly in there or Nintendon't and went to the compatibility list found in here.

Because of that, It is really hard because finding a HDD below 1TB is hard nowadays. For that reason I'd like to propose an update for future (hardware) generations.

That would be a newer list or filter to the one that already exists. Also focusing in enclosures and adapters would make it "kind of" future-proof.

Willing to hear your thoughts and ideas. Regards.

That looks great. The HDD is not an option for me (to expensive for me to import) but the SATA 2 USB is.

You are a lucky man living where you do lol. Anyway, how do you think we should proceed in order to make this list work?

According to the current database, the cases and connector or bridges (SATA to USB for instance) are the thing that matter when it comes to checking compatibility.
