Nintendo Wii U
Why does a flash drive run into corruption issues with the Wii U, but not an sd card on something like the Switch?

[QUOTE="AQS, post: 10048596, member: 570666"] I have 2 Wiiu consoles using a similar setup (both are using a Kingston 512 gb microSD + USB card reader) , I am going on 3 years now for both of them ( daily usage + cycling through most of the games) and have never faced corruption issues. For me it's about portability/being compact as I move the consoles around a lot. I'd have to imagine that wear leveling technology (on the card itself) has greatly improved from that 2012 article everyone keeps referring to from Nintendo. In my humble point of view, I have a setup that works for me.. so when people read threads about this topic, just know that it's not all doom & gloom if you use a USB flash setup. (There's a lot of Hearsay and speculation about this topic, without a lot of [B]recent reputable [/B]examples that would dissuade me from continuing with my setup) If the cards die, then so be it , so will a mechanical HDD... This is why you have backups :) Kingston offers lifetime warranty on their SD/microsd cards where I am, so no biggie.. I'll know what to do when/if they die. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
