Wondering if anyone can answer this.
I've been using an externally powered hard drive for my vWii backups, however I've previously used a self-powered drive for my OG Wii and it worked fine. I know power output concerns mean it may not work without a Y-cable, however I'm wondering if, and how much, the Wii U's back USB ports differ from the OG Wii's in terms of power output and such.
I used a Toshiba Canvio Connect II for my OG Wii, and I'm thinking about getting the similar Canvio Advance for my vWii. According to Toshiba's own specs, they both have a max bus power of 900mA, depending on how much that actually matters, so I'm curious if the latter would be discrete enough to work with backups on vWIi.
Thanks for any help.
