Wii U copy all from one external drive to another

[Ryab]

I bricked my Wii U from moving large files around from HDD to NAND so be careful. Might be better off just redownloading everything.

Sounds more like your NAND was dying to begin with. Likely would have died on it's own soon after.

Because it can't be done that way. Hdds are encrypted to that console only and cloning doesn't work unless done with the console.

I can't remember what I transfered when I done it (it was years ago) but I don't remember there being a limit for selection as I got everything and I did have to leave it overnight to complete.

As regards to moving and not copying... I ensured it all copied across first before deleting from the old hdd... Just to make sure i didn't lose anything!

Raw copy work, that is how people able to upgrade from like regular HDD to SSD in devices like Nvidia Shield TV.

Raw copy work

Originally I didn't want to say this but what we (the cummunity) are doing right now is cloning the MLC... Which has more or less the same safeguards than USB.
