Hello. After some research, the currently "best" external hard drive I can find at local retailers (I don't live in the US) is this one.
Since we can now use FAT partitions to store the .wbfs files I'm going to use this for other stuff as well, lots of space. With an added plus of not requiring plugging into an outlet.

My question is, has anyone used this HDD with USBLoaders on the Wii? Can anyone recommend it? According to the WikiTemp list, it seems that almost all entries regarding WD Passports are positive, but I'm not sure.
And regarding disk spindown, would it be a problem with this HDD? If so, how does one fix it?

Thank you.

    Good night

    made enchiladas tonight. came out decent. Not the best I've made, and half of the tortillas split open because I didn't warm them first smh, and I used jarred sauce rather than making my own. Still tasty though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Was this employed jarred or unemployed jarred
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Coax still surprisingly goes for a decent amount $10 per 10feet

    Coax wire today is much better (RG6) than old school coax (RG58/59). Newer wire more expensive than the older wire.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You can buy it at any length @homedepot wire cutting area cheaper than buying preformed cable, but you have to put on your own ends/ connectors.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I still like DTV but the wire wasn't long enough to reach the window still pick up 40 channels

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea me too, esp for local news, sports, or channel surfing. I get like 60 channels but there's like 15 shopping networks, and bunch other bs, religion, Hispanic, etc. I went thru and blocked most those on tv channel settings.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is 1 Hispanic channel I kept, sometimes they have soap operas on it, w scandalous clothed hotties, I just beat mute it.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Ah yes the Juan channel order 15 pairs of feet
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I got this antenna but the damn thing has usb power right next to the coax plug and you can't actually extend it without usb extension the Pic makes the cable look longer than it actually is https://a.co/d/501IQf2
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Use a old phone/ USB charger block thing, plug into wall instead of tv usb. Use cheap extension cord if need.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    You still need usb extension because coax end cord is the same length
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh I thought you were gonna extend the coxial cable with another 10 footer
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I am but you need both to make it work
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I meant like this.

    You don't have to use the tv usb, any USB 5v will power it. USB extention cables are not cheap either, so this would be cheaper way.
