Its been a while, but Im pretty sure you meant to use the REAR usb ports on the WiiU, NOT the front usb ports for external storage drives.

I tried the rear ones too. Same problem

Ok, since there are 2 rear usb ports, you swapped the usb Y cables around as well?

If it still doesnt work, like others have stated, looks like whatever usb controller that is inside the hdd enclosure is not compatible with the WiiU.

In the past I had various hdd enclosures and spare hdd lying around, my WiiU couldnt read some of them, even though on my PC they read fine.

Added Notes:
Just a noob question, Im hoping your not connecting the hdd while the WiiU is on?
WiiU should be off, connect hdd and then turn WiiU on.

I tried and didn't work either.

Also yes I am turning it off every connection.

Just open the enclosure, take out the drive, and put it in a new enclosure.
