1)First of all are these compatible?
2) would it work if i partitioned it using something like partition magic, then plugged it in, would the wii regognise there are 2 patritions and give the option to only format the new partyition into WBFS whilst leaving the other partition in NTFS/Fat (cant remember what it is) for use with the PC?
hdhacker said:This question keeps coming up. Every time it does, someone recommends the WD Passport Essentials. I have the 500GB version of this drive. I had to open the case, hook it up to a SATA port ,and manually adjust the spindown time using hdparam. Therefore, DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE!!!
If you want a small self-powered USB hard drive, stick with the Seagate FreeAgent Go. You can turn off the spindown time without voiding your warranty.
