So, i seem to be having problems with portable HDD's connected to my Wii (the USB powered variety). after ~1 hour, the drive makes a loud seek noise and locks the system up when trying to access data. wondering if it's due to being underpowered by the USB bus.... if that's possible, would a USB Y cable solve the problem (the kind which plug into both USB ports)??? ...or should i just invest in a powered hub? ....or a new full-size, self powered drive? any toughts/suggestions?
Thanks....
NTSC running 4.1U
bootmii as boot2
HBC (1.0.6 i think - a version that flips with cIOSCORP)
cIOSCORP v3.2 (except for IOS30 to keep HBC from flipping)
cIOS v15 (also behaved the same for v14)
cIOS222 v4
Preloader booting directly to USBloader GX (behaved the same on all versions of GX and i update fairly frequently)
no system menu themes
HDD: WD 320GB Passport fully formatted to WBFS (USB bus powered)
