Hey Guys,

I try'd 2 of my UBS Sticks today, both werent working; Sony Micro Vault 8 GB and another one with 4 GB both bring Identify-Error.

Can someone please tell me a USB Stick with 1/2/4/8 GB which is definitively working?


Thank you very much.

Cheers

Has anyone but the one mention been able to get this to work with a 30gb ipod? I want to try this tonight and have the old ipod but not a proper external drive yet.

Maxtor Basics 500GB works like a charm.

Wonderful first post!
Will get one of these tomorrow then.

Agree, I'll get this on too =)

I'm really relieved because my currect one (FujitsuSiemens Storagebird 35EV821) doesn't work so I'll get one which does work

Trekstor 160gb works (Mplayer and USBloader)

My Maxtor basics 320GB USB powered is working perfectly.
This drive has 2 usb plugs, but works great with just 1 connected on my Wii.

May I ask why/when it would need 2 usb plugs on it?

And has anyone tried terabyte hard drives? I didn't look at every post, just checked the compatability matrix.

One = Data / Power
Other = Power

to give more juice to the unit

my 1TB Western Digital works fine. (even though it is running of a 300GB partition)

Using a Western Digital 1TB My Book Essential and it's running perfectly. (200GB partitioned for Wii use)

Cheap little I-Rocks HDD 3.5 enclosure worked fine with a 30gig Western Digital and a 250gig Western Digital.

See It Here

They have it listed for $25.98....
But i picked one up for $13.00 from a local computer store....

 

[Golfman560]

Heh, yeah I realized that after I thought about where a external drive would get power if it were being plugged into a laptop.

I'll be trying a terabyte by the weekend if I can find my gift cards, but I hope someone can confirm they work before I get one.

bed time for me now, driving practical test in the am, 9 hours and 20 minutes from now in fact... more scared of it than i am of bricking my wii XD

 

[Tgrokz]

heres a weird one for you guys. i have a broken 5G 30gig ipod. i took it apart a while ago and noticed that the the connection from the HDD to the main board was damaged, and seeing as it was out of warrenty, i just left it for scrap. i just ordered a casing for the HDD so i can use that as my temporary wii backup drive, so ill be sure to post back my results

its a toshiba 1.8" 30 gig HDD. i dont see why it shouldn't work after its formatted

Correction: Storagebird 35EV821 now works in 1.1 =)
