It was in some write-up by the guy who created Spinrite back in the day.
There are some buggy SSD that really do fail if they aren't refreshed and spinrite can do that, but I believe they all got firmware updates eventually.
Because a max of 32GB of storage sucks? And because the load times for Loadiine suck?I honestly don't see why anyone would bother with a flash drive or SSD given it's over USB2.0 and they both take undue wear from frequent writes (auto save) and cost more per GB.

Actually, I owe you an apology. I read "HDD" and not "SSD" like you'd actually written =/I should have been more explicit clearly, I use a HDD. (One I took out of a laptop).
A 320GB HDD is about £20 will be faster than a flashdisk over all (data streams in game), comparable in speed to a SSD and probably marginally more reliable for a fraction of the cost.
HDDs are indeed cheap, i have my 1TB HDD lying around with my personal stuff and i just don't want to sacrifice this HDD and most of my important files to just have more space in Wii U.I just cannot understand this play and delete thing. Do you never want to play a game again? If you Do you would have to install it again. Seems so inconvenient and impractical. Especially when hdd's are as cheap as they are. I mean ok, maybe you just dont have the money, i could understand that. But you dont Sound like thats the reason.
You can use Ustealth on the vwii hdd to hide it from wii u. Then you can have both plugged in.i have two 2Tb HDDs. One for WiiU and one for vWii. The vWii one has pretty much every NES/SNES/Gamecube/SEGA/Arcade/Wii game ever released. my eleven year-old self is very happy about that seeing as we were very broke when i was a kid so i'm making up for it now. the WiiU one is just over at half capacity after installing every game I find mildly interesting.. currently mostly playing BotW and a PC space fighter sim (Freespace 2 with mods) but that latter is off-topic, sorry.
back on-topic: the only "issue" is having to change HDD every time i want to play with the vWii part of the console but that is hardly an issue tbh..
i could consolidate the collection by using loadiine and that modded Mocha but spent already too much time downloading and installing games the WUP way so i don't think i'll ever bother with that. this setup is good enough. might look into it when the WiiU HDD dies though..
hmmmm that's an idea but i only have one sata to usb adapter..You can use Ustealth on the vwii hdd to hide it from wii u. Then you can have both plugged in.
